I would call you an genius, but ... :-)
Anyway, that worked and is the solution!
postgres=# update pg_database set datname='foodmart' where datname
like 'foodmart%';
UPDATE 1
postgres=# drop database foodmart;
DROP DATABASE
THANKS!

You'll notice the database foodmart has a carriage return or new

Perhaps something along the lines of

I tried that. Doesn't work.
Using "od -a" I did determine that there is a CR (carriage return) in
the name.
