Not that I planned it this way, lol, but if my timing of posting S Perkins Kroger photos means the same as it did last year, then it's time for summer uploads to officially begin on my photostream! This year I'm kicking the season off with a special extended two-week photoset I've dubbed Retail Road Trip (hence the interstate off-ramp food sign in Hernando I'm using as the photo background here). Beginning tomorrow, we're taking a return visit to the script décor Kroger in Cleveland, MS, followed later in the week by the Kroger in Greenville, MS, as well as the Kmart in Greenville next week. I also have some blog posts planned to supplement this series, with one already up and another in the works for next week. Stick around!

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 :)
Handbills produced by our Focus Group in 2000 during the closing of the Marlton Crossing Super Fresh across town. The one on the right was handed out at the Marlton Crossing store during their closing by members of the SF 463 Focus Group. Super Fresh 463 did survive 12 more years after this, after nearly 30 years in operation.

A massive pipe rupture on the 3rd floor of this store destroyed pretty much the entire store. Water as high as 2 feet was pouring out of the ground floor doors.
The store closed, and it is expected to take up to 6 months to repair the damage.
WEEK 23.2 – RRT, Greenville Kroger
An attempted look at the dairy sign, obstructed a little by how far out the shelving is (as you can see on the right). Looks like I also captured one of the many shoppers here on December 15th, 2015, leaving the aisle!

A full, frontal view of the store's front. Sorry if me standing in the middle of the road bothered any of you.
* (a) Parkgate Retail Tram/Train stop
And, at the first of two locations today for the NR Inspection Saloon, 'Caroline', a trio of traction, one brand new and two sets well, not so new. At left, propelling 975025 along to the north is Direct Rail Services operated class 37, 37409, ex-D6970, 'Lord Hinton' in B.R. blue livery with big double-arrow logo, 'Intercity', and 'The Age of the Train'; now a long time ago... Have to say this is the best pairing of 'Caroline' and a propelling class 37 I have seen, though this set was sat at Rotherham Central for a few minutes, way back in May 2011, and came as a complete surprise... no RTT, Freightlocate or RailCam in those days!, see-

Approaching from the North ,one of the not so new units, in the form of another class 142, this time 142070 on the local stopper from Adwick to Sheffield, 2R46. Still waiting at the Tram/Train stop on the left, unit 399202, 'Theo', waiting for the off at 09:59, on its path back to Sheffield Cathedral and will make its cross over movement onto the correct south-bound line just at the other side of the footbridge behind the camera.
Some additional information regarding 'Caroline'-
Previous numbers: BR DEMU 60755.
'...This vehicle was used in the Royal Honeymoon train for Princess Diana and Prince Charles on 29 July 1981. Of interest is that this vehicle, along with a class 73 loco, worked the first ever passenger train into the Channel Tunnel in Autumn 1992. Alas, it was only a few hundred yards, but all the same, still notable. This is owned by Network Rail, the modifications were carried out by Rail Vehicle Engineering Limited(RVEL). Originally this coach had the same multi working arrangement as a 400 series EMU, and could work in multi-pull with either a 33/1 or 73/1 in the same manner as a 4TC unit (etc) would work. When the recent modifications were carried out, the control equipment was converted to "Blue Star" and internally the power controller was replaced with something akin to what can be found in a Class 31. So now in theory any "Blue Star" ETH fitted loco can work and be driven remotely from this coach. It was originally built at Eastleigh in 1958 to Hastings gauge as DEMU buffet vehicle no. S 60755 which was converted to Inspection Saloon 'Caroline'. Vehicle type AZA no. DB 975025 was designated in 1969....'
37409, 'Lord Hinton' and 975025, 'Caroline' are working the Network Staff Inspection run, 2Z02, with the ECS coming into Sheffield earlier today as 5Z02 and then departing for the run through Lincolnshire to Barnetby and back as 2Z02. Finally heading south this afternoon to Woodburn Junction and a run up the Deepcar Branch towards Stocksbridge Works after which the set returned via Woodburn and Beighton Junction, to Chesterfield.
It may be totally gray, but this retail fan can't be fooled! At one point during the early 80s, this building was graced with orange, brown and yellowish river rock panel walls with a cream white stucco facade.
With part of the Meadowhall shopping complex in the background , 66017 crosses the River Don on route to Tinsley Yard.
Due to being unable to head north on its desired route , the 6N75 WFO 1533 Aldwarke - Tees Dock has to go to Tinsley Yard to run round and return this way an hour later.

Behind the gate, a view of the unearthed former DEB store along the new corridor. I'm not sure when exactly this store closed, but it's strange to see that this store is still exposed. Looking towards the center and the fitting rooms.
Fashion Square Shopping Center in Cherry Hill, NJ. This was built in the early 1980s over the site of an entertainment venue that was known at different times as The Ice House, Cherry Hill Arena and The Centrum. It was originally anchored by a smaller size Kmart, which later became a Super G Supermarket and then Shop Rite - which has since closed. That section still has the Super G facade.
Sissy me posing for photos at the retail carpark, just along from the hardware store and the food stall.
I had several small groups/couples looking on, some of which were smirking and laughing out loud - it would have made a good video!
A little modern day retail therapy.
Off to IKEA we went. Having decided on the bathroom sink and furniture, purchasing it required touch screen computer, scanning a QR code, loading order onto phone, production of bar code, payment by barcode and credit card, and then finally a member of staff wheeled out a loaded trolley. This really is stretching my IT skills. Marion only loaded a QR reader App yesterday for the first time. We are rapidly becoming a Fred and Wilma couple!

This was never going to be a great photograph, but I've done what I can to get rid of the "flare" that partially blotted out the front of the bus. In any case the picture is of interest as much for its background as for its subject, in that it shows the variety of useful small shops clustered around a junction on a busy road in a middle-ranking provincial town, Crewe, as recently as Monday 16th February 1976. On the right-hand corner, with the pram and bicycle left outside, there appears to be a post office, while further down we see the signs of a chemist and an antique shop. Oddly, the Sandeman port sign appears to belong to the chemist. On the evidence of the newspaper bill propped against the lamp-post, I'd say there was a newsagent, tobacconist and confectioner a little further along the flagstoned pavement.
But just look, on the opposite side, at that splendid example of a lost British institution, the corner shop. Holland's, the greengrocer, has prospered to the extent of expanding into the property next door. The photograph may be of some interest to connoisseurs of greengrocer's apostrophe, in that the signwriter has created a space by casting adrift the S from the rest of the name but has not inserted the apostrophe. Perhaps he didn't know quite what he should do and was hedging his bets. And why the inverted commas? The next business along is called Burley, but I can't quite make out the nature of its trade. The window display looks like rolls of fabric or, possibly, linoleum.
The name plaque, South Street, visible at the extreme left, enabled me to get a fix on Google Street View. Burley's and Holland's have both gone, apparently to ease the flow of traffic at the junction. The next property, behind the bus, is occupied by a provider of financial services. Apart from a chip shop of the genteel kind, with restaurant attached, the only businesses in the vicinity seem to be estate agents and building societies. You can see the width of South Street from the camera position, on one side, to the opposite kerb. Now you must use one of those time-wasting, two-stage, light-controlled pedestrian crossings, with a dog-leg central refuge, fenced off with railings.
I was on my way from the station to the bus station. The bus, a dual-door Bristol RE belonging to Crosville Motor Services, appears to be operating a flat-fare local service, with "Farebox". I think I caught such a vehicle later on to get back to the station. I must have legged it pretty smartish across to the opposite side of the main road to get a pic of that approaching Lodekka. See next photo...

Still in full operation, this Zellers seems to be going at speed in the West End Mall, Pembroke ON. No word if it's a conversion or a closure.
Otherwise known as Resale Therapy. I went in to pick up some money, and then it backfired when I found three great items. New with tags Aimee Kestenberg clutch, new with tags brick color linen tank, and Harari silk ikat kimono top.
I don't know what it is, but the Kmart bags down here seem to be less durable then what I'm used to back up north. The one handle pretty much fell off after hauling it inside and a hole started in the bottom of the bag.
I know I said wouldn't be uploading, but I thought I'd take this moment to say I've gotten lots of pictures and I still have more to take. I currently have over 1,000 pics that have yet to be uploaded, some of which are still from up north.

Dick's Sporting Goods (8009 Stonewall Shops Square, Gainesville, VA 20155): Opened on October 26, 2011 as a newbuild to an empty parcel in the center. Typical modern Dick's store.
Staples (7973 Stonewall Shops Square, Gainesville, VA 20155): Opened on August 2, 2008 as another store in the center. Haven't been inside to really know this store, but I'm assuming it's just your average Staples store from that time period.
