The hierarchy in Charlotte was
- Harris Teeter
- Winn-Dixie
- Food Lion
I think Food Lion won a gold star because it was featured in an expose -- employees were re-dating expired meat.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't know Winn-Dixie's history during segregation, but they do exist all over the Carolinas, and they're definitely on the dive-y side -- so it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
The Winn-Dixie in my hometown is nicer than the Piggly-Wiggly, but it's a newer store. And the Pig isn't exactly what you'd call a high-falutin' upscale chain.

For frozen pizza Chicago-style, Sara Lee makes a good deep dish pizza (I've found them at the Sara Lee discount stores in the past), with gooey cheese and flaky crust.

Ah, Food Lion. When we went to the beach, that was always our shopping choice. For no good reason except cheap.

The best pizza I've ever had is the stuffed spinach pizza at Giordano's in Chicago. Runner up would be the plain cheese pizza at Little Steve's in Boston. Locally, I go with vegetarian pizzas at Memphis Pizza Cafe or Pizza Chef (Jonesboro). Which I think I will do right now, as this pizza talk has me starving.

Hi new thread! Love the Ani-inspired title.
And gotta love pictures of my doggies. sara, that wistful one looking out the car window was on a roadtrip through Utah in winter. She was wiling away the hours looking out the window. No doggies or cows along that stretch to get her excited. Our dogs are great roadtrip dogs.
I shopped at Winn-Dixie and Publix when I was stationed in Florida for a couple months.

What is even happening?
broccoli does not belong on pizza.I hear you, Kat. That is what I said, then I tried it. I think it was actually broccoli and garlic. It was at a dive-y little Italian restaurant and pizzaria near my college. The broccoli goes on the pizza raw, so it still has some tooth to it, after baking. It was very tasty.
