Sign of the Times
All that's left of the "Foodmaster" sign on Mass. Ave. is this rough outline. The grocery store, a favorite among locals, closed Sunday, Nov. 18. A Whole Foods is set to open at the same location next fall.

With the recent fall of nearby Johnnie's Foodmaster, it got us thinking:
Which old local business do you miss most?
If you could have one now closed Winchester business reopen, which one would it be?

Brigham's, the Hobby Shop, Woolworth's, Heavey's Drug Store, visiting Santa on the landing at Filene's, The News Shop (when it was on the corner of Main & Thompson), Randall's, Christy McDonald's. If you didn't live in Winchester before the Burlington Mall was built, you have no idea what you missed. High School and the Jr. High let out in the afternoon and the town center came alive with hundreds of kids. Kind of dead now.
