We all had to eat, and buy groceries. We did business at A&P on Bolton Avenue. It seemed large at the time, and the pleasant smell from the coffee grinder sticks with me today. There were no scanners, only friendly people operating those huge cash registers with the big colorful keys. In 1955, we usually parked on the side, at an angle, just as patrons of Super Saver do today.
