Hi Nabor Jones Creek (St. George, Louisiana)

On one of my other sites, Exor's Dungeon (a part of Carbon-izer), I may have mentioned that it was the Baton Rouge area when I visited family and really got acquainted with Nintendo, with stuff like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 but there was usually still the rest of the house to visit, and that included newspaper circulars. Enter Hi Nabor, one of the Baton Rouge independent grocery stores that still persists today.

I really like these pictures (from Supermarket & Hypermarket Design 2, though I believe the store opened in the early-to-mid 1980s) because the original Hi Nabor logo (or at least as it existed at this point in time) can't be found anywhere; it's the newer one that appeared in the late 2000s that is far more common. So it is nice on the nostalgia end.

The address is 5383 Jones Creek Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70817 and as you can see it has had some updates since Street View started in 2007.

I've listed the city as "St. George" in the title, however, because it was never in Baton Rouge's city limits but is now in the limits of the newly-incorporated St. George.
