After a rough winter for heavy construction (them) and difficult parking (us), the new Stop & Shop is whetting our appetite for convenient shopping, wider selection and easier navigation. Let’s hope we get all that and better parking too. My island-raised brother is having a hard time imagining a store that extends fully from Sparks Avenue to Pleasant Street. And he hasn’t seen the new Boys and Girls Club either!

How long have we wished for adequate room between the end caps and the registers? Could this be the end of an island tradition of lining up in the aisles while leaving a gap for the cross-traffic?
