THOMPSON CENTER MARKET

In recent months, I wrote at least two fictional columns about reopening the long-deserted Thompson Center Market on Route 528.

Amazingly, I learned last week that someone actually did just that - revived this store after many decades of neglect.

I paid a brief visit to this resurrected emporium and learned that it was originally established in 1880. Old photographs of the store were hung over the front register.

Stay tuned for more details...
