With the very recent news that Fred's will close another 129 stores, thought it would be fitting to do another couple of Fred's product photos for the weekend. Sadly, this latest closure round will wipe out the other two Southaven locations (leaving only the Olive Branch store to remain open in DeSoto County), and the Iuka store will close as well - a location which I have documented but haven't posted any photos of yet. Arlington Fred's? Yep, that one will be closing too...

Fred's, closing Summer 2019, Shiloh Rd. near Harper Rd., Corinth MS
Former grocery shop built mid-C19, still retaining part of its painted brick sign. It looks like much of the top storey has been rebuilt, possibly as a result of a bomb that was dropped near this location in WW2. At corner of Sullivan Rd and Walcot Square, London Borough of Lambeth.

I am certain Schaeffer's [STL MO since 1839] has a semi tanker for you, if needed.
After being missing for months, some Made to Move Barbies finally showed up in my local stores again, so I grabbed one. This is the wave 2 Blue Top doll, so this one has a very noticeable red tint to her skin, which quite limits the body matching and body swapping options with other Barbies, but I did manage to find a doll in my collection that matched the complexion!
Here I did a side by side comparison of the Wave 1 and Wave 2 dolls, with Wave 1 on the left and Wave 2 on the right. The red tint is very much visible in these pictures, and so are the more cartoonish features of the Wave 2 Blue Top compared to the soft and beautiful features of the first doll.
However, the newer doll had great, totally glue free hair which was soft to the touch, in contrast to the gluey hair of the Wave 1.
I head swapped my Wave 2 doll with another doll, and I'll be posting pictures of the results soon! :)

Duga-3 (NATO reporting name Steel Yard) was a Soviet over-the-horizon radar system. It was developed for the Soviet ABM early-warning network. The system operated from 1976 to 1989. Its distinctive and mysterious shortwave radio signal came to be known in the west as the Russian Woodpecker.
Two stations of Duga-3 were installed: a western system around Chernobyl and an eastern system in Siberia.
The transmitter for the western Duga-3 was located a few kilometers southwest of Chernobyl (south of Minsk, northwest of Kiev). The receiver was located about 50 km northeast of Chernobyl (just west of Chernihiv, south of Gomel).
The Soviets had been working on early warning radar for their anti-ballistic missile systems through the 1960s, but most of these had been line-of-sight systems that were useful for raid analysis and interception only. None of these systems had the capability to provide early warning of a launch, which would give the defenses time to study the attack and plan a response. At the time the Soviet early-warning satellite network was not well developed, and there were questions about their ability to operate in a hostile environment including anti-satellite efforts. An over-the-horizon radar sited in the USSR would not have any of these problems, and work on such a system for this associated role started in the late 1960s. Duga-3 could detect submarines and missile launches in all of Europe and the Eastern coast of United States.
The first experimental system, Duga-1, was built outside Mykolaiv in Ukraine, successfully detecting rocket launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 2,500 kilometers. This was followed by the prototype Duga-2, built on the same site, which was able to track launches from the far east and submarines in the Pacific Ocean as the missiles flew towards Novaya Zemlya. Both of these radar systems were aimed east and were fairly low power, but with the concept proven work began on an operational system. The new Duga-3 systems used a transmitter and receiver separated by about 60 km.

This old warehouse in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn was built in 1869 and abandoned in the 1960s. After decades of abandonment it was recently renovated into restaurant and retail space.
This store is one of the few supercenter stores closed in the January 2016 Walmart store closing wave. There were 269 stores closed (154 in the U.S.). Of those closings only 12 were Supercenter stores. The closing wave included mostly smaller stores like Neighborhood market and Walmart Express.
This is an approximately 192,000 square foot Walmart store that opened on August 26, 2009. This is the Hartland, Michigan location I'll post the pictures of the closed Bedford, Ohio Supercenter as well within a couple weeks after finishing the Hartland pictures. These and many of my Bedford pictures are currently floating around elsewhere online.
I believe the big box retailers were overly ambitious when they built up at the intesection of U.S. 23 and Highland Road. Due to the recession, a lot of developement due to happen around this intesection never happened. Target doesn't seem to be doing that well either here. Meijer is the only store that looked like it was doing well in the area. Then again, the Meijer locations around here seem distributed weirdly. There are three Meijer stores on Highland Road within 20 miles of each other yet Fenton (a decent sized city to the north) does not have a Meijer. Both Walmart and Target have stores in Fenton though, so I wonder how many people come from Fenton to go to the Hartland Meijer. I also imagine the grocery section at this Walmart contributed to its closure. When I was at this store, I noticed a bunch of grocery items, on the shelves, that were months expired. I doubt Meijer lets that happen as much. Since Meijer is a Michigan based company, they probably have a more loyal following in the area to begin with.

Here just across the road from what is now the Crossroads Garage, formerly M & J Ellis, was a tiny petrol outlet form further back in time. I am not sure if this is just before the war or just after, I'm not good enough on car registrations to tell from the one van we see parked here. The van looks quite modern compared to the shop front and the age of the pump, a model from well before the war.
Incredibly the owners are still the same family in the present day and it is still a general store and post office.

The windows of this shop were dressed by ITV with items from the sixties and for a while I felt that I was back in that time again.
With a population of only 6,000 Perth (not to be confused with the one in Scotland or that one in Australia), doesn't have any "Big Box" stores.
Imagine just for a moment if you can; a place where there is no Wal-Mart, no Costco, no Staples or Best Buy.
The smallest anchor store at Somerset Collection... Crate & Barrel has two levels.
Somerset Collection is a massive luxury mall in Troy, Michigan. The mall is a sprawling 1,443,000 square feet and has two sections (north and south). About 90 percent of the tenants in the mall appear to be higher-end, but there are some middle-end stores like just about every other mall has. The mall is currently anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Crate & Barrel, Nordstrom, and Macy's.
The one anchor store that seems odd here is Macy's. It seems a little low-end for this mall; I wonder why they didn't put a Bloomingdale's here instead. I laughed when someone with a lot of money told me they though of Macy's as a discount store. I can see how Macy's would be considered "discount" after walking around this mall....
In 1967, Saks built a Saks Fifth Avenue store on the property. A single story enclosed luxury mall (Somerset Mall) was built attached to the store in 1969. Bonwit Teller was added as an anchor then. Both Bonwit Teller and Saks Fifth Avenue remodeled plus expanded over the years. In 1990, Bonwit Teller went bankrupt and shuttered all of their stores.
In 1992, the mall was reconstructed as a two-story mall and added Neiman Marcus as an anchor store. Neiman Marcus demolished and rebuilt on the site of Bonwit Teller. The new mall was called Somerset Collection. In 1996, a north side to the mall was built on the other side of Big Beaver Road. This other side of the mall is connected to the south side with a moving sidewalk over the road (skywalk). The three story north expansion brought Nordstom and Hudson's (later Marshall Field's, now Macy's) as anchor stores.
The south side of the mall has 524,700 square feet of space and the north side has 918,300 square feet of space. The mall appeared to have around a 100% occupency rate on my visit. The only stores I noticed not open were under construction to be turned into other stores. A couple retailers have more than one location in the mall, Aveda and Starbucks (full Starbucks locations, not kiosks) both have two locations inside the mall. Also, I noticed brands like Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton had full stores in the mall as well as salespaces in other anchor stores (such as Saks Fifth Avenue).
Forbes Company owns this mall. Forbes also bought the former Kmart Headquarters building across the street to block another developer that wanted to build a new shopping center and swipe some stores from Somerset Collection. Nothing appears to be happing with the old Kmart Headquarters building...

The Red Hook Stores is a Civil War era warehouse for cotton, jute, coffee and other goods. More recently it was home to a Fairway Supermarket which has since been replaced by Food Bazaar.
Here's a similar view from June 2006 and from another angle on the same day.
This general store was originally opened in Ogmore Vale in the South Wales valleys in 1880, it remained in the same family until it closed in 1973, it was removed to St Fagans Museum in 1988. It is shown as it would have appeared in the 1920's.
Western Stores was the convenience store division of Conoco (Continental Oil Company) from roughly 1965 to 1982. It was named after a Minneapolis-based Conoco subsidiary called Western Oil and Fuel Company, which had operated service stations under the Mileage and DS (Direct Service) brands until the end of the 1960s.
Western Stores did business in seven Midwestern states. They sold gasoline, groceries and general merchandise, plus they had their own brand of trading stamps that could be exchanged for goods. The earlier logo had the full word Western, replaced with just a stylized W in 1970. The above is a composite of two images from a company catalog.
In 1982 another Conoco subsidiary, Kayo, took over Western Stores and the stores were rebranded to Kayo and Jet. Eventually they would all be rebranded to Conoco as gas stations and convenience stores became one in the same everywhere.

Located in William Street, Brisbane beside the river, the Commisariat Stores of 1829 are reputed to be our city's oldest building still standing. Strangely, it is just down the road from one of the newest, the Star Casino complex.
We're on a little architectural bent today!
History of the Building
In 1824, the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane, gave instructions to establish a new penal settlement in Moreton Bay. Re-offending convicts from New South Wales were sent to remote stations to do the most menial labour on a rigidly-set, monotonous and minimum diet. Punishment was the focus of the new, secondary penal stations.
The Commissariat’s primary role was to procure, store and distribute provisions to the military, convicts and colonists. The Commissariat also controlled the supply of hospital requisites and equipment, customs and banking. This stone building, commissioned by Commandant Patrick Logan, was completed in 1829.
In 1839 the costly penal settlement was effectively closed and the bulk of the convict population removed. The Store became a land sales office and then a depot for immigrants unable to be accommodated in the former Military Barracks. A separate kitchen building was constructed in the yard.
In 1860 the building was renamed the Colonial Stores. The first floor was converted into a police barracks, while the ground floor remained a storeroom. An inventory of supplies listed items such as cutlery, paper, candles, police clothing, saddlery and blankets for the Aborigines. Later, a brick storekeeper’s cottage, saddle store, stables and stationery annex were constructed in the yard.
From the mid-1880s the building was converted into sundry government offices and renamed the Government Stores. Various additions were constructed to provide more workspace. A third storey, approached by a gangway from William Street, was added in 1913.
Following renovations in 1978, the building became the headquarters of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland in 1981.
Finally for tonight, here’s a pic of some pins I purchased recently from eBay. They’re considerably smaller than I thought they’d be based on the listing photo, but still uber cool XD This image also serves as notification of my most recent blog post, which discusses topics such as McDonald’s in gas stations, McDonald’s in retail stores, McDonald’s as double-drive-thrus – basically, McDonald’s “intercepting customers at every turn.” (And yes, that’s an actual quote from McDonald’s corporate!!) If you’re interested, please check out my post here :)
