The Fresh Market in Williamsburg, VA where I worked at from May 2004 to July of 2005 moved to a new building back in July. My heart broke in a thousand pieces when I passed by the vacant old location a few months ago:
I took some pictures during the time I worked there:
Christmas Display, 2004.
“Mistaken Kool Aid Man”
A co-worker in the produce department.
“Good Americans Believe Anything They Read” graffiti next to the store, Summer of 2005.
Heh, I really really had to GO before getting on the ferry one day back in 2008. So I ran into Fresh Market to use the bathroom, while I was in there, I remembered all the times I had to clean that restroom while I worked there.
This isn’t my picture (source), but this was really strange to see the place empty. Almost every Sunday, I had to clean those black lights with a long-handled duster. I remember my manager, Doug would always get on me for dusting the lights, always worried that I was going to knock one lamp one centimeter out of place.
This blog is not at all what I expected. Well done. I look forward to exploring your archive.

I love your blog! I live in middle Tennessee so I noticed we have some of the same chains. Right now I am fixing to go to Roses department store. I am in shock that there are any left! I just moved to Murfreesboro,tn so I am just now going to see Roses. I read online that it is filthy and the employees are rude. I can’t wait to go! Talk to you later.
