1983 Kroger 100th Anniversary Stained Glass Piece
Construction, Week 26
Last but not least, since it's a special week for the Hernando Kroger after all, I thought I'd share a special piece of Kroger's history :) With all the mentions of/photos from this store from Christmas, I wanted to share one of my Christmas 2015 gifts, this really neat stained glass Kroger sign from the chain's centenntial back in 1983. I have no reason to doubt its authenticity, but I can't say I know why this would've been produced... it's about the same size as (maybe a little smaller than) EDIT: way smaller than, I don't know what I was thinking! the Barney's Café stained glass piece seen at the Stateline Road greenhouse store in Southaven, and would have been produced around the same time. But the chain for hanging – which is indeed broken, I haven't hung this up yet partly due to that and partly out of fear that it will fall off the wall and break – implies that it wasn't built into the wall at a store like the Barney's sign. Whatever its history, I'm proud to be its new owner!
Stick around, there's a set for the Horn Lake Walmart opening on Wednesday, then more Kroger coming up Saturday – and then onto something completely different for a while, for a change!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
