As usual, I got to the library about 5 minutes before closing time, and was trying to look up several things. One of them was old City Directory<\/i> listings for Trenholm Plaza<\/i>. In the event, I got two, one for 1964, when I would have been three years old, and perhaps dimly conscious that we were going to the same places a lot, and one from 1970 when I would have been nine years old, and looking forward to Western Auto<\/i> visits to window shop at all the \"hobby batteries\" and bicycles.<\/p>\n

I'm pretty sure Trenholm Plaza was a golf course not too many years before 1964, so that wave of stores is probably pretty close to the original list:<\/p>\n

While many of those stores lasted for years, the USPO is the only<\/i> original tenant left.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of hold-overs in 1970, but a good bit of turnover as well:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly (to me), I can't for the life of me recall a Gene's Pig 'n Chick<\/i> in Trenholm Plaza at all, and I would have thought it would have stuck in my mind. I don't recall those dentists either, and in fact am a little surprised by seeing non-retail there.<\/p>\n

Of these TP stores, I've done closings for:<\/p>\n

A&P (sort of)<\/a><\/p>\n

Edisto Farms Dairy<\/a><\/p>\n

Liggett Rexal<\/a><\/p>\n

Standard (Federal)<\/a><\/p>\n

Tapps Twig (sort of)<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 11 October 2013<\/b>: Look at this great 1979 picture of Trenholm Plaza. Be sure to zoom all the way in, and pan around<\/a>. Thanks to commenter Dennis for finding this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
