Some final Mars memories in the making…

Laughs & Tears (August 5, 2016) The folks there may not technically have been “family,” it sure felt like family in Jimmy’s Famous Seafood’s upstairs party room. That’s ‘cause many of them had worked together for years at Mars supermarkets, which had just closed it doors. Some of the gang had already found other jobs. Some were still nailing new ones down. And some made it their retirement. So, they had decided to throw one last bash and make one last batch of memories they all could share.
