I know there was one Maggie dealer in downtown Aliquippa, PA which I see when I drive past when on deliveries. I can see the faded letters where they used to hang on the building. Aliquippa is not too bad in some places now, but in the steel days of the Pittsburgh area, it must have been a bustling place. I'll see if I can steal a shot of it with my cellphone.
