We have a Piggly Wiggly here in Oklahoma, but it's in one of those outlying little villages that have <2000 people. It's like a time machine going in.
Can't find a link but it is from his killing them softly comedy special.

Remember when Piggly Wiggly was A&P? Me and Slay remember....
H.R. with Brooke Shields.
Didn't even know Bad Brains had that kind of mainstream penetration.

Y'all must live in some middle of nowhere towns because I've lived in the south my whole life and never saw a piggly wiggly.

It's one of those things where if I drive away from Tulsa for 30 minutes, I don't know where I am and I get looked at like some weird outsider or city slicker. It's pretty nuts how accessible the middle of nowhere is depending on what highway you take. There's some serious backwoods folk out there within 30 mins.
EDIT: Found this about a half hour out of Tulsa:
That is some OLD SHIT. Went in, saw new things in old-ass equipment. All the store's stuff reminded me of my childhood. They had a badass toy section. Remember those days?

Remember before Gamestop there was Babbages and Software, etc.
Fuck you hitting me in the feels
. Babbages was and still is the goat of goat gaming stores. Hell funcoland was an adventure in itself. You go in there and the shit feels like you walked into the land of chocolate.

Babbages man
Bought my first PC game in the late 80s from there. Place was like paradise.
We had Funcoland here too - it was garbage though. They had a book at the counter with a list of their inventory and release dates, but they never had anything I was looking for when I went in to find stuff. That turned into Electronic Boutique, which later merged with Gamestop, then everything was just Gamestop.
I was assuming carls jr. too

You cats see the trailer for Jolie's first film as direct Unbroken? Is it sad while watching that trailer the very first thing I thought of was the youtube video about "If Black People said the things white people say" and the part where they were like "wow I just watched Titanic and didn't realise how bad you people have it?"

Fucking Suncoast. They used to have the VHS Anime section when the only anime available was Fist of the North Star, and it had that little "Not 4 Kids" sticker on it. Also some other old shit, Vampire Hunter D, maybe...I can only think of a couple back then that were actually there, but I still have that VHS at my parents house.

dat damn weasel ball. the 9 year old me still wants 1 and the 35 year old me is cussing his young dumb ass out for asking moms for that gahbage.
Breh weren't you in SC for a while; military brat? Well all this old shit never made it's way over to columbia mall or columbiana mall. These old stores was exclusive to Dutch Square mall....and if you ever made it there you know how old that mall was/is....
Sit I still want a Turtle Blimp and a USS Flagg.
I used to get my pocket sockers from kb toy stores when I was young. I used to love them figures.
One time I got two of them and this kid was like "POCKET SOCKERS?!...I love those toys".
it was awesome because I used to feel like I was the only dude that cop them toys while everybody else was on that ninja turtle tip.

Not living in America. I am what 3/4 of GAF want to be, a "Japanese" American (by virtue of having lived nearly my entire life there and Korea and a little time in Italy...Vicenza was the shit!).
I was in SC for a little while, don't recall seeing any of these stores at Columbia Place Mall while I was there. Dutch Square...come on son we both know that shit ain't no "mall" that shit is a legal loitering zone for drug sales.
Shocking enough I only went to Columbiana once and I don't recall much about it.

Ah that explains it. Suppose to go up to Columbia next weekend to see my mom. I might visit these "malls" to see what they're about nowadays.
See, you needed to drive to cities like Sumter, Florence, or Darlington. Country towns with barely anything going on. If you thought Dutch Square Mall was bad, you wouldn't know what to do with yourself at Jasmine "Mall". I remember people losing their minds when the first Super Walmart opened up.
