The cakes in the Shoebox are variable, but the bread is good. They were one of the few places that does a rye loaf, although you can now buy Polish-style rye in quite a few places.
I mostly agree with you on Portswood. Dewhurst has been gone for a couple of years, and there's been nothing to take its place. I suspect that either Gannaway's or Long's will disappear at some point (International Foods are really pushing their fresh produce). Woolies is dead, dead, dead (though that's more of a mercy killing).
On the plus side, October Books moved to Portswood (though I understand that you may have a different opinion about that) and Portswood Hardware still seems to be going strong.
