In any case, after we checked out the NPS show, Jerry and I ventured to the Ferry Street Pathmark, soon to change to, I thought, a Stop & Shop due to the A&P bankruptcy. The slender, polite, white cashier I asked about when the changeover to Stop & Shop would occur, said that it is actually to become an Acme. Hm. Did I read the website wrong? He thought maybe the Bergen Street Pathmark was to become a Stop & Shop, but when I had, before then, investigated, I saw no reference to that store. We will in time see.
