The lowest prices or you’re dead!

Since I was a kid, I have been put off by the name "Price Chopper'. Chopper sounds so....I dunno, horrible? Something that induces dread...so what if the prices are cheaper, the butcher may just chop you in two with his cleaver, if you dare ask for a price match. Then you end up in that secret graveyard (or rendered into dinty moore stew).

LOL. Me too. It was still better than ubiquitous Freshco renaming by Sobeys.

**Edit
I was wondering if this was the last location. Apparently still three left.

Alt-right types only use bing. It's part of a long tradition of doing incredibly stupid things such as smashing keurigs and ordering starbucks with "Trump" on the cup. You know, to own the libs.

I only wish I was joking...

Interesting. Do they also use Microsoft Zunes and Crackberries?

I wish the Z30's had been better for Blackberry, so much better than the — iphone I have from work now. It was nice not having all the — advertisements in all the apps that you get bombarded with on iphones

Oh wow. Me too. I swear sometimes you could be my (evil

) twin!

(Or maybe I could be your evil twin?)

The oddest (and yet perhaps the most appropriate) name for a grocery store chain as far as I'm concerned is Overwaitea

kwoldtimer · #**11791** Posted **Jan 2, 2018, 3:19 PM**

When I lived in D.C., I often shopped for groceries at a supermarket called Harris Teeter. I always liked that.

Of course, Piggly Wiggly is all-time champ, istm.

There's no limits to crazy — names when it comes to south if the border.

O-tacular · #**11793** Posted **Jan 2, 2018, 4:11 PM**

I still get a kick out of Loblaws.

Behold Edmonton's killer new RONA:

Anyone ever been to the part of the Waste Island known as À-Ma-Baie? It is very crappy on numerous levels. Known as the Ghetto of the Waste Island. Not a good place to linger after dark.

the old saying was to "stay away from amabaie"

À-Ma-Baie is in the upper corner of the map. A strange enclave of the former city of Pierrefonds,

À Montréal: un îlot de pauvreté au milieu de la richesse

not too far off is Rue Maisonneuve in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, which is where we used to go to buy pot and other substances. It is soul-suckingly —, especially in Winter.

The SFH right near that area is generic as hell, reminds me of Mississauga.....bleugh:

Looks like an exciting place!

Why look there's a Billiard hall and a brasserie.

And look at this new building for sale by Mimi:

Edit: Any streetview link in that section of Gabe seems to only take you to that same view of the park. Weird. It’s so — streetview doesn't even want to show it.
