They should open something like this in Seaboard Station. Downtown Raleigh is in desperate need of a Grocery Store!

I looked at an old aerial map of CV in the 1950s, and it appears it was by the corner Daniels & Cameron (where Uniquities is now).

No, it was where the Rite Aid drug store is now! I remember it very well. In fact, when it changed over to the chain grocer “Big Star,” I was working for the Big Star store at North Ridge and did the final inventory of the Colonial Store at CV! Right across Woodburn Road from the Colonial was a theatre, and we used to go to movies there in high school (1970’s). A few doors down there was a Kwik Pik convenience store where we used to hang out in the car and get older guys (anyone over 18, at that time) to buy beer for us and we could drink in the car without being detected in that parking lot before the movie started!
