Mike's Red Barn.

I miss Circuit City, with very little competition Best Buy has terrible customer service, limited product selection and prices are not that great. Thankfully their is the internet and Amazon

Mike's Red Barn!

Rockingham Park as it used to be. It was a Bush Gardens wheni was a kid. it was a Gem in Salem.

Mikes Red Barn! And of course Computing Made Simple!

Ditto on Mike's Red Barn!!

I have to say Pizza Hut. I happen to love their pizza and usually go to Derry if I get the craving for it. I also miss Bob Loo's!

Granite State Potato Chips...nothing better.

Sadly, local family businesses will continue to dissappear if we continue to shop on the internet and send our money out of the community. Small local businesses help support our community in many ways, including fundraising for various events and sponsoring local sports teams. Remember, BE LOCAL/BUY LOCAL :)

Kentucky Fried Chicken. I know, I know, but it was a good deal to get a bucket of chicken for Sunday football parties !

Where was KFC? Just curious.

I miss Bob Loo's and The Red Barn.

I forgot about Filenes, that was a good store

Friendlies

Gourmet Take away and Butcher Boy.

Does anyone remember Pete's Little Store in the Pines? I used to buy my Landlubber jeans there all the time. Loved that little shop!

Gelts

Mikes Red Barn, ya know, the way it WAS, not the way it -is-!

Has to be Mike's Red Barn!

Yes Belts and Pete's. Also loved Ryan's Diner behind Gelts parking lot. Used to go there as kid with my father. He was a plumber in Salem and did a job for Bob Loos addition way back in 70's. We went there every Friday night. I saw Close Encounters of third kind at Jerry Lewis cinema back in day. Jimmys Barber Shop in Demoulas plaza (later became Mr James).

Oops Gelts

Bought my first bike at bike shop near Gelts I think there is a dunkies there now? Across from at the time Indian Head Bank and Trust. We went to Don Peglos too they sold and serviced boats and marine stuff. Behind that was a grange feed store? This is near intersection. Schofields? Was like a book and stationary store. So many memories. Moved to Londonderry in '73 at age 8.

I'm suprised no one picked the A&W stand

Quintals Ice Cream and PostTime Pizza.

A&W drive in, Quintals, Rockingham races and Anton's Pizza

How about Lechmere Sales. I used to drive up to Salem from Lexington, Ma., to get cases of cassette tapes on sale. You couldn't beat there appliance prices back then.
