Isn't the Superfresh on 41st street still 24 hours?

it doesn't have my Giant brand whole-grain English muffins. EL

Aarrrggghhh

Use your words Lizzie.

If all your posts start to be gurgles, yowls and grunts we may have to have an intervention.

It's Friday. Words are a lot to ask at this point. EL

Owlie, words are important to only 3.9% of BaltimoreSun.com's viewers. For the other 96.1% it is all about raw emotion, pictures and printable coupons.

I understand about needing Giant brand necessities.

You shop for groceries between midnight and 6:00 a.m.?

I like to have that option. EL

It is the best time to shop, Bucky. Only the zombies are out, and there aren't any strollers in the aisles.

I can understand walking the streets and hanging out on corners between midnight and 6am, but grocery shopping? You frighten me, EL.

The Rotunda Giant was quite literally the first place I went to, when I first moved to Baltimore more than a decade ago.

Eastbound transcontinental flights do wonders for inciting the appetite. Getting into the city, to our room from off the plane, the first question to the desk was where the nearest place to score food was. This was after midnight, somewhere in the wilds of Tuscany-Canterbury-Roland-whatever they choose to go by these days.

The answer, the Rotunda Giant.

The first time I lived in Bmore the Rotunda Giant was my store, the only supermarket within a reasonable distance of hideous Charles Village.

To this day, 62 years later, I still dream of the original configuration.

Owl -- 62 years since the "first time you lived in Baltimore"? Does that mean you're of my generation, well into your seventies, pushing the eighties? Yet dispensing humor with a youthful turn of phrase.

I'm not sure what 62 owl years converts to in human years.

I don't buy it either. We'll need to see some ID, son.

My home planet revolves around its sun more frequently than here.

The Giant at the Rotunda is terrible, the produce always looks like cr@p.

EL, I am sorry, cause I actually like to shop at Giant, but the one in Loch Raven is not that great. I find that the produce is not fresh, and it seems like they jack up their prices. I live literally 1 minute away from it, but I refuse to shop there. The only time I go there is when there is when there is a snow storm and I can walk to it. I go to the Giant in Lutherville instead (close to my folkes house, so I can hit it at least once a week). Unfortunately that one is moving to Timonium, across from the fairgrounds. Errrr, Timonium traffic...

Wow, this instant posting is kinda freaky!

Okay, that is the reason why I should not start drinking at 3 pm...But it IS a holiday weekend! Merry Christmas everyone.

I live more like 10 minutes from the Loch Raven Giant but I don't shop there. It's an unpleasant place.

Eve - Hi neighbor! The Shoppers Warehouse at Perring Parkway is pretty good, decent meats and produce.

Trixie!
I used to visit the Shoppers Warehouse at Perring Pkwy a lot, back then it was still a Metro. Only thing that bugged me, was the way they stocked their products. You'd have chili and right next to it, toilet paper.

Um, maybe they did have a plan there.

More often though, I shopped at the little Giant across the street or at the new Safeway when that opened.
