Well for those that used to get Pickles at Shoppers Village, you can still get them, and you dont have to go to Far too get them. The pickle guy is located in the western beef that is right near national Liquidators. I still get my pickles and tomatoes from him....I used to love to smell the pickle smell when you first walked into the fleamarket.

Hey does anyone remember TSS Siedmans on Hempstead Tnpk. in Levittown.... it's now a K-Mart/Office Max



OMG YES!!!
2 of my uncles worked there. Actually my aunt and uncle met working there! They have now been married for 15 years!
I remember going to visit them.
My one uncle used to staple the bags when you went from FoodTown into TSS!

He had to wear this hysterical bell-man uniform We used to ABUSE him.

Edited for spelling



My very first job was at that Foodtown! You'd think I would have remembered when TSS was mentioned. I worked there in '88-'89. Good times...
