Just 2. Southington and Meriden, CT. I'm a regular visitor to the Bed Bath and Beyond store that took over part of the Southington AMES. I've also been inside Bob's Discount Furniture which took over the other part of the Southington AMES.

Once with Nick DiMaio (XISMERO) to vacant on in Meriden before it was ripped down. They've since revamp the plaza and a new Lowe's sits in the area where AMES used to be.

I've of course been to the Newington CT store many times since Price Chopper opened in 2005. I've also been to the Southington CT store when I've visited Bob's Furniture.

Ameskid, where was the one in Randalstown located?  I used to live about 20 minutes from the area and wonder if it is/was the one on Liberty Road?

I just now saw this post...sorry about that.

Yes, I think it is the one on Liberty Road.  It's in a shopping center with a Dollar Tree and a Mars grocery store.  I haven't been by there in a couple of years, so I don't know if it's still vacant...but judging by the condition of the rest of the plaza it was in, it seems likely.

I just went there today, it's now a Big Lots.  As soon as I can post pictures (I didn't bring my USB cable for my camera this trip) I will.
