News and stuff

Sorry. It’s been a bit. Things have been very hectic at the day job (you know, the one where I actually get paid).

So…news:

I forgot to mention it here when it first ran, but you just might see a quote and a photo from yours truly if you read this article on SF Gate: After 70 years, San Francisco’s skyline ‘miracle’ is about to come to a close

Otherwise, most of the action has been on Bluesky of late, but here are some recent additions, for those who care:

• Elgin IL Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1931-1991
• Rockford IL Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1920-2025
• San Luis Obispo County Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1932-1975
• San Francisco Chain Grocery/Supermarket Locations, 1928-1999 – update
• Purity Stores (California) – update

I’m also working on a project to reformat all the location lists and make them more mobile-friendly and discoverable through the search function. I’ve done all of Canada and am working my way through the U.S. (currently at California). As it happens, the only link above that I have done so far is San Francisco.

And that’s the way it is.
