Where FiddleSticks Used To Be

If you didn't grow up in or around Rhode Island, you won't get the joke.

That is this: Most folks around here are physically incapable of giving directions to anywhere without referencing at least one landmark that's no longer there.

One in particular favorite landmark is the old grocery store chain: Almacs. (Yes, I remember where at least three Almacs Used To Be, and yes, I still occasionally use the phrase "Turn by where Almacs used to be".... )

Anyhow... Tonight's the Big Night, a Stop and Shop is opening "Where Fiddlesticks Used To Be".

In honor of the momentous occasion of yet another RI landmark being bulldozed for development (don't forget the Tent among others...) I'm starting a new blog... this one won't be updated very often, just when old sh*t gets bulldozed for new sh*t.

The new blog is: Where Almacs Used To Be

And yes, I'm sure as hell going to the new grocery store tonight with Mrs 40, beats driving another 4-5 miles to wickford to $hop at Daves Market. I'll take pictures.
