And I’ll ask my mom about the department stores in Maine. :)
Maybe they weren’t at YOUR Skaggs, but I can remember getting them at MY Skaggs. :) That was a fun place to go and look around. Very close to my house. Funny that was located right where the Zayre’s had been on Colfax and Ironton here in Aurora, CO. I think they totally took the Zayre’s building down and then put up a Safeway. Now the Safeway is gone and it some Mexican oriented strip mall. North Aurora, where I live, is heavily Hispanic now. Started going that way in the 90s under Clinton.
Same here. Alot of old areas went from White to Black then to Latino. Just down the street from me is an old area that is completely Latino. They are in competition now with the Asians that are moving in. Don’t say that in a bad way either.
