Former Vons, 124 N. Western Ave

[runchadrun]

Curbed LA links to a blog at the LA Weekly showing photos of the HK Super market that is covered in artistic grafitti, if there is such a thing. There's not much to see of the store itself except the sign. The store is slated to be torn down and a mixed-use development built in its place.

The store is a former Vons which opened in 1964 and was designed by Stiles and Robert Clement. It was about 23,000 sqft and was the 86th store in the chain. I guess it goes to show that not everything Stiles O. Clement designed was a spectacular piece of architecture but I'm sure it looked a lot nicer in 1964 than it does today.
