[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to Arlington from MA mid 80s. It seemed Southern in that store clerks would smile and say hello! Some people had soft Southern accents. We loved Frozen Dairy Bar. It reminded us of childhood. There was also a branch of a family owned ice cream place near 7 Corners. I think it was Maryland based. I got garden supplies at the Sears Garden Store where WF is. We remembered Bread and Circus from MA. We got our washer, dryer and lawnmowers at the Sears on Rt 7. Erols ruled. There was a pet store in what is now Willston I. We got cat food there. I think the coin laundry is still there. A lot of Central American refugees arrived in the late 80s. [/quote] You’re talking about Gifford’s (ice cream). It was closer to Bailey’s Crossroads than Seven Corners, but was so good. There was also a Hot Shoppes drive-in somewhere not too far from there. Now that area is run-down.[/quote]
