March 1969

Sea Host made the crucial and, alas, fatal mistake of putting too much fish into their fish pieces and not enough breading ... forgetting the Take-Out "Sea"-Food Maxim #1: Breading to filet ratio should not exceed 95:5. This is very important, and what has kept Capt. D and L.J. Silver in business this long.
Apparently, Loveman's bought their color cameras, tape machines and film chain first.......

HoJo Cola??  So what did they call their own brand of Dr. Pepper? Dr. Ho??!!



This would be about the time I start having memories of my grandfather taking me to the Kmart on Green Springs.  I've said this before, and I'll repeat it for those who've recently discovered this site: Kmart during these days, to this four-year-old, was bigger, grander - and BETTER - than any "Supercenter" Wal-Mart could ever build today.
