We had an independent here that was famous. Pechins. For $1 you could fill
your belly at their restaurant. They used to through out meats, and it was
all hands grabbing anything. Anything you got was a bargain. It was
legendary, but I never got to go to their grocery. The owner died in 2005
and things went bad, including a fire. They also sold boats, had docks, and
sold gas on the river cheaper than gas stations. They also had a restaurant
at the docs, which was dirt cheap. $.20 cheeseburgers at the grocery. We
still have another legendary grocery, Frederick town butcher shop. 3 years
ago I walked out with 10 pounds of pork shoulder for $11.50 .

Trouble is, I would need to spend too much on gas money o get there.
