BRATTLEBORO FOOD COOP PROPERTY (from Facebook)
Mastodon Post

The attached black and white photograph shows much of the old Super Duper Plaza: - the current location of the Brattleboro Food Coop and parking lot.

The Super Duper Plaza never looked quite this bleak ... or shabby.  The supermarket, itself, had a highly unusual feature.  The floor had warped badly and there was a hump of good size that one needed to push a shopping cart up over.  It was even more fun pushing a cart down the other side of the hump.  I am glad I never ran over anybody with a heavy cart.  In those days, downtown supermarkets included the Super Duper, the Grand Union, and the A&P.  To the right of the photo was the old Idlenot Restaurant which made ice cream sundaes that couldn't be beat.  Further to the right, beyond our field of view, is one of the spots where Brattleboro's recycling program got started.  There was a place where one could deposit one's recyclables.  Curbside pickup came much later.
