Yay for Key Foods
I worked in several key food stores, including the one on prospect ave and one in Levittown
Good old fashion Brooklyn grocery shopping.
Great Video Al! But can I get an ROS?
Thank you Dan! I'd love to give you one! Like Scotty used to tell Captain Kirk on Star Trek; "Captain I've got no power."
I use to work as a security guard for a Key Food in Maspeth Queens in the late 80s ,,,,,,,
