Reply to comment by erstrecs in NYTimes article on Jersey City's ‘Village’ (Published 1979) by Brudesandwich

In 2004? Shoprite, La Conga, P&K, Tendershoot (now Oliva), Lee’s grocery, Key foods… they were all here then

once Big Chef (RIP) opened, they were usually open on holidays, but that was a little later.

also Key Food was quite disgusting for a long time, they have had a few changes of ownership over the years and I like the current one, but Pathmark where 99 Ranch is now was the place to go back then.

I think Key Foods was a C Town when I moved here in 1995.

Big Chef would treat you like royalty if you dined in.

I responded to that same person saying “I bet you’ve seen a lot of change”, why are you making me regret posting here?

I misread it, apologies. There were a couple of ways to interpret your reply, I picked the wrong one lol. It’s only reddit, No Ragrets! 😂
