A Connecticut native here who spent my 20s, 30s, & 40s going to a local J & J type market every Saturday. My whole house is furnished ( after refinishing) from there!

I love your stories cause that was half the allure for me - the people- the bargains- all of it. I miss those days ( I’m 78 now, don’t need anything!) but I get to live it again thru you. Thanks.
