Better view of this can be found on my flickr account
This is from John's book - a drawing of where you could find the super markets and shopping centers in and around Fort Wayne. I'm guessing it is from the late 60's - early 70's.
Not much is left from almost 40 years ago.

We used to go to Maloley's all the time. Times Corner holla!
Maloley's in Maplewood. Grocery of my childhood. Only place then and since that I've seen kuchen bread. Tragedy of my life!
I am from Van Wert, OH but we used to go to Grandma's in Ft Wayne (near Rudisill) every Sunday. Growing up (and I'll admit, even today) the Scott's sign did not look like a corucopia but a cute dinosaur with its eye way up on top.
In case you still update these, for supermarkets there was also Cub Foods which was the reason the building was built that Hobby Lobby is now in on Coldwater. I remember going there once when I was like 10 and it seemed more like Costco/Sams/GFS to me but it was also one of the first super stores in town so it just overall dwarfed anything I was used to.
