The upper & lower belts of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing in 1995
Back in the heyday of stores in Ontario & Quebec having a car order service, several of them had two conveyors - with one to send out customers' orders and the other to return empty bins back to the cash registers. This store was rather unique in that both belts were used to transport customers' orders out to the parcel pickup room, which was located in west corner of the store by the truck receiving doors. The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. The top conveyor was shorter at both ends - it served the cashiers to the left of the mall entrance and was the shorter belt in the car order room. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.
If you come to Kyneton, and all the big names are fully booked, with a bit of effort, you might be able to squeeze yourself into a quiet corner and partake in a rather decent light lunch.

Don't you love Farmer's Market? I do.
Today I bought some Morels.... Ahhhh... although they were asking $25/lb- we shook hands at $20.- ( noteworthy: downtown foodstore is selling these for $60.-/lb.).
What could be simpler? Risotto is made with Carnaroli Rice, mushroom stock (Chef Keller's recipe), Morels ans Italian Parsley... all I can say - glad there is a little left over.... ;-)

A man inside the store is pushing his son in a car order tub along the parcel pickup rollers. Looks like a fun ride. :o)

Some clear evidence that this African foodstore in Benwell has diversified to reflect incoming migrant populations in the area with this handwritten sign in Polish reading 'Polish products on sale'. Interesting also that the shop sign brings the flag of Nigeria to Benwell highstreet.

This is the long straightaway section of belt that once led from the right-side cash registers to bring car order bins into the basement on their journey to the car order room at ex-A&P store 386. Today this store is a Food Basics, but the conveyor system, which closed 10 years before A&P today, is now long gone.
There was a bunch of middle-aged men waiting outside a supermarket / department store. Not a sight you see every day.
What does every middle-aged guy want?
A cheap & nasty DVD recorder with 160GB hdd for AUD229, of course! :)

The service industry is an important employer in the city. The city centre is one of the main shopping areas, with the pedestrianised Cruises St being one of the main shopping streets and also the recently pedestrianised Bedford Row. New on the agenda is the proposed pedestranisation of O'Connell St up to Roches St near the Oriental Foodstore and a new look for William St, the heart of Limerick City. Each side of the city has outlying shopping areas. Crescent Shopping Centre is in Dooradoyle, not far from the city centre. It has over 90 shopping outlets along with restaurants and the 12-screen Omniplex Cinema. Regular bus services run from the city centre to the Crescent Shopping Centre. The Jetland Shopping Centre is in Caherdavin. It opened in 2005. Its main anchor is Dunnes Stores, with other shops and services including Golden Discs and Costa Coffee
The Milk Market located at Cornmarket Row in the city centre sells locally produced foods and products. The market is run by the Limerick Market Trustees and is one of the oldest markets run in the country. The market is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Saturday market acting as the flagship and most popular market day. In 2010 work was undertaken to redevelop the existing market premises to an all – weather, all year round market facility as the market operated in an outdoor environment. The work involved constructing a large canopy over the existing market premises and was officially re-opened in June 2010.
The upper of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing or in 1995...the grocery chains were sadly shuttering them en-masse in the mid-1990s. I wonder if more of them would still be in use today were Steinberg's still around.

Kris and I went to Young Harris College in Young Harris, Georgia for a work-related meeting. This is an the sign on the front of an abandoned Gas Station and Car Wash we passed along the way.
Our local grocery store, the Wonder Market, recently got a new façade. It totally changes the looks of the place. I think it looks much more snazzy now.

truly delicious corn, pea and feta fritter, drizzled with dill-infused sour cream and topped with a mountain of Tasmania's finest smoked salmon.
...
Or go sweet with toasted, house made banana and coconut bread (with honey labna, pistachios and roasted seasonal fruit).

APTE's crunchy-edged banana bread - when you eventually find it under a mound of stewed rhubarb and honeyed labna - is sweet, sticky and loaded with coconut, while the ricotta hotcakes are plump, light and golden and served with poached fruit and a ricotta flavoured with orange zest.

Apt time to move on
IN OTHER cafe news, Alphington's APTE, recently named Delicious magazine's cafe of the year in a popular vote, has been sold. Nathan Toleman, who with his wife Sarah Foletta opened the former milkbar three years ago, said the couple would be handing over the reins at the end of the week to an unnamed buyer new to hospitality.
The pair has another project on the boil, a cafe that will be similar to APTE, this time on the Carlton/Brunswick border. They hope to open around July.

This was taken as I was leaving. The metal railing is used to separate arriving customer from leaving customers. There was a similar one in this chain's other store (also now closed). Anyway, there were once dual entrances to this store-the one in the background was removed (security reasons?); the space was being used to store shopping carts. I think the entire front if the store (which was built with the gray bricks was a later addition, but it came somewhat early in this store's years as an A&P.

It would have been nice to see some restoration on this sign too, but it never happened. Rosario's closed for good on December 31, 2016
(Note. No Manufacturer I.D.tag )
Here's a video of the sign in action. flic.kr/p/7gGieg
Update: The neon / plastic signage was removed from the building around February 2019. The Building is up For Sale. The pole mounted sign in the parking lot is still there.
Kris and I went to Young Harris College in Young Harris, Georgia for a work-related meeting. This is a photo taken through the window of an abandoned gas station we passed along the way. Those potato chips have been there for a very long time.
Coffee with cream and piece off fruit tart. Very small. Ear wire is almost bigger than cake. Surgical steel wires.
Curved set of rollers for the upper car order conveyor belt in the basement of ex-A&P store 386. This is the stretch of belt where bins would just have entered the basement from the left-side cashes upstairs.

Gentlemen -- Are you having fun and thoroughly enjoying the tenth hour of your Solo Vegas Vacation? Good! So now, what do you think of your first close look at the fabulous and expansive Eataly Italian Marketplace & Food Hall? This massive Italian food court was still under construction last Spring when you and your very lovely lady were vacationing on the Las Vegas Strip. You and your very lovely lady really enjoyed staying here in 2015 and 2016 when it was the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino, so how well do you like this place now in 2019 as the Park MGM?
Gents -- Don't you think your very lovely lady would be mighty impressed if you brought this Hazelnut Torta back home!

Emma Roberts heads to a grocery store after getting her nails done in West Hollywood, CA. Emma kept on her disposable flip flops while grocery shopping, so that she didn't ruin the fresh paint on her nails.
