The Acme in Secauscus New Jersey closed on September 30, 2004. I was able to make a couple trips there while the store was in it's final days. These pictures were taken for my own collection long before this blog was ever dreamed up.
Here's the giant Acme sign on the corner of Flanagan Way and Humboldt Street on a crystal clear day...
The back side long gone...
The sign on a cloudy day with a better perspective on how huge the sign was...
The new tenant should come as no surprise...
It always has to be CVS! Good thing we've still got a good number of Acmes in South Jersey. Gotta get back to the Clayton one and take more pics sometime. I'll post them on my Flickr account.

ReplyDeleteI'm planning to feature the Sparta Acme sometime in the future. I'm holding out for now, hoping to get my hands on a picture of the store when it was an Acme.
