The Local Neighborhood Grocer
by: Shopping Locally Many neighborhoods have their own corner grocer, that quirky little store where the locals shop, and few others know it even exists.
My family owned and operated one such market from the late 1920s through the mid 1940s. Even now, some 60 years later, this little corner grocer still exists.
The object of this group is find and document these little markets. |
Taffy Pulling Machines
by: Taffy Pulling Machines No trip to the coast is complete unless you visit the nearest candy store to grab a bag of "salt water" taffy. Many of these store fronts have a machine pulling taffy around the clock, mesmerizing those who pass by. If you can break yourself from it's hypnotizing spell, snap a photo and tell us about the taffy! |

Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives 
by: Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives The group Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is dedicated to waymarking those independent establishments that have been featured in nationally syndicated food programs for their ability to excel in the culinary arts. We start with the restaurants featured on our favorite food critic television series such as Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, Feasting on Asphalt, Feasting on Waves, the Great Canadian Food Show, and Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels. Then we search out and investigate those restaurants ourselves. |
