Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this article says the OG Slow Burn is in Madison and this location opened in 2020. https://www.nashvillescene.com/food-drink/bites/article/21108146/slow-burn-hot-chicken-to-take-over-former-ruby-anns-space

My mom and I used to shop at that store as an A&P back in 1963 when we relocated from Central Illinois.  On Saturday mornings, if it didn't have what my mom needed, we'd go to 9th Ave. just north of Monroe St. at the old Kroger, long since razed.

Back then 9th Ave extended uninterrupted from Herman St. to the public boat slip at the Cumberland River, some 10 years before the Metro Center concept began to get underway.  9th got chopped up ─ first by the interstate which also severed all numbered streets through 17th Ave ─ and then with the Metro Center initiative during realignment with 10th Ave.  9th was cut yet again, when the current Kroger between 8th and 9th was built in the late 1990s, as Kroger had agreed to, when the state and city planned the current Farmers' Market on the site of the former Farmers' Market Warehouse store, which opened in November 1965.  Kroger, which owned the then-new Warehouse store, moved from its location on 9th.   Around the same period, the A&P building on Buchanan became occupied by Bestway Foods.  A&P left the Middle-Tenn area altogether, although A&P would remain extant in many other parts of the nation for another 50 years.

The Farmers' Market Warehouse store was closed around 1995 to make way for relocation and accommodation of the State Bicentennial Mall project already underway.  The Farmers' Market Warehouse store perhaps had been Nashville's first 24-hour-a-day superstore for merchandising food, drugs, jewelry and other goods, even though state Blue Laws had remained in effect.  All this chain-reaction timeline occurred under the McWherter and Sundquist administrations.
