I hereby submit that it's NOT totally southern - unless by "southern" you mean New York City. IMHO this phraseology is due for an update. How about the "Gettin' Down" section? Too overt?
Now, please, I need to know what is the Death Star Kroger?
ACE Weekly is somewhat responsible for the smirky naming of the assorted Krogers in Lexington.
It may have started with "Disco Kroger," which is the Euclid one.. "Death Star" Kroger — Beaumont — is so named because it seems to be as big as the Death Star, I think.
I think there's an article somewhere online, if you search.. ah; here it is
Mick you are hilarious. And so is this. Thanks for sharing.

I think I have sometimes been credited with naming the Richmond Road branch "Webb Krogre"
aha! I see. I pledge eternal loyalty to the one I patronized from 1986-1997. I shall remain true to thee, O Disco Kroger.
