South Georgia. It's a chain common in Southern states.

You may not have done it, but I was in fact a bag boy for one summer at the Winn-Dixie supermarket. Just one of several downscale jobs I've had. But after the books appeared I did go on to teach Creative Writing--at Columbia, Yale, UCLA, and the U. of Cincinnati.

Winn-Dixie! Was that in Florida? When my mom was about the age I am now, she ran away from home (Coney Island) to be with her childhood sweetheart, who lived in Dania. She shopped at the local Winn-Dixie, which I believe was on South Federal Highway.

South Georgia, about 15 miles from the Florida border.
