There was a store on Watkins called "Dixiemart", which was kind of like the precursor to Walmart (they sold clothes and other stuff as well as groceries). You would pay for your groceries, they woud put them in these bins that were numbered and give you cards that had the bin number on them. Then you would drive around to the side of the store under a canopy where guys would retrieve your bins and groceries and load them into your car.

Also, remember Zayre's and Katz at Poplar near Stonewall? I remember that on Sundays the stores would have to cover up certain merchandise with sheets because it was against the law to sell things like clothes on a Sunday ("Blue Laws") - how weird was that?!
