Short filmTranscript
00:00Allington, Connecticut was one of the last of its kind, an old-fashioned family farm
00:08town, and the supermarket was an important part of that.
00:12The place always felt like it was simply a natural part of Allington.
00:16It was a community, for the customers, for the long-time employees, and especially for
00:20all of us.
00:22This is where we worked, where we hung out.
00:25It was like a smaller version of our town.
00:28If you screw up, blame it on the new guy, which is you, so I guess you're screwed.
00:33Oh, that was dope!
00:35I've lived in Allington my whole life, and it seems as though the town and the supermarket
00:39always stayed the same.
00:41They stood the test of time, almost immortal, or at least, that's what I had thought.
00:46But as usually happens in these stories, unfortunately, that was all about to change.
00:51It's a shame the place is not going to be around here for much longer.
00:54Progress.
00:55We couldn't stop moving if we tried.
00:57All the family-owned stores, like us, are gone.
01:01We're the last ones left.
01:03My advice?
01:04Figure out what you want to do with your life, and pretty damn quick.
01:26I've got something.
01:28Stopped yesterday morning?
01:29If we really want to make an impact, if we really want to get the ball rolling before
01:32they get in here and start building, then we need to move.
01:34We need to play hardball.
01:35You and your friends are not to take part in any of this.
