Just saw this photo in some guy's collection of Washington, DC area shots: http://fojin.com/picturepages/feb2004/feb05-08/ http://fojin.com/picturepages/feb2004/feb05-08/feb05_66.jpg Probably would find the answer on DCGrocery somewhere...interesting 1970s thin white lettering on what appears to be ...

Here's a nice googlesearch find: interior of a marina store in Saskatoon, on 33rd Street. http://schools.sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca/mayfa/business_partners.htm http://schools.sbe.saskatoon.sk.ca/mayfa/images/safeway3.jpg - note the marina windows up top, making this an earlier specimen http://schools.sbe.s...

Reviving this old topic, doing a bit of google searching...just found a couple of photos of an unusual looking Safeway in Vancouver: http://www.kevinfreitas.net/journalPicView.php%3Fdate%3D2005-02-19%26item%3D03&sig=__upIWiw9s1OBdaMsvBqc5kZh6IB0= Anyone know where this store is located? --- Here...

Just saw this photo after a Google search: http://www.wvdhsem.gov/WV_Disaster_Library/Library/Tech%20Manuals/Floodproofing%20Non-Residential%20Structures_files/image271.jpg This photo comes from an article talking about flood protection, using specific construction examples from Boulder: http://www....

Here's a photo of that very store I just found via a google search:

Looks like it's operating as some sort of gift shop now.

And going back to the original topic, here's a very nice find: the City of Pacifica's own page on shopping centers, with some vintage photos. http://pacifica.ca.us/ECONDEV/centers.html the Eureka Square Food Barn: http://pacifica.ca.us/ECONDEV/eurek3.jpg Fairmont Center Payless and Lucky: http://pac...

Ah yes, I almost forgot about that one. Yes there is currently an independent market, Food Town, and it appears that the shopping center was remodeled in the 1980s (However, the inside of the market is, happily, still old). Originally, this was one of a chain of bay area markets known as Lee Bros. ...

I'm guessing it became Lucky/Payless in the 1980s, but I'm not certain. I do know that even though this has always been a neighborhood shopping center, with services like a shoe store and a restaurant, it originally had (like Park Mall) an enclosed mall of shops. Maybe they got rid of this around t...

I can't confirm or deny that connection, but I believe you. As long as we're on the topic of Pacifica Safeway's, the Albertsons/Rite Aid (former Lucky/PayLess) combo in the Fairmont shopping center listed on the Peninsula Grocery Stores site was originally a Safeway/Super S that opened between May ...

I was taking BART up to Richmond (to catch an Amtrak train back to school) and saw a few things between the El Cerrito Del Norte and Richmond stations: - 1960s era Lucky sitting abandoned on I think San Pablo Avenue, obvious Lucky labelscars on the sides of the building and on the old "needle&q...

I can't remember for sure, but I think I've been told at some point that the Pacific Manor store was originally a Mayfair or a Brentwood -- or a Mayfair and subsequently a Brentwood and Safeway -- which wouldn't be unusual since Brentwood purchased so many Mayfair locations and was later acquired n...

Just updated my Peninsula Stores site with stuff on Pacifica (and some updates in SF)... http://dtcwrt.earlracing.com/stores/pacifica.htm - Pacifica page Specifically, I have a few questions on the two Pacifica Safeway sites (former store near Linda Mar, current one at Manor Center) that my photo-ta...

This store was originally the independent Winston Super (hence the name Winston Plaza). It dates to January 1955, and originally had a pitched, wood plank ceiling that looked ahead of its time, in my opinion. The only evidence that remains of the original ceiling is in the Kelly Moore next door. An...

When I went to the Philippines on a trip in 1989 (I was pretty young then), I DID remember some locations of Shakey's Asian branch even then. The one in Daly City at Broadmoor Center (near the former Mayfair that is now Kukje Market) is now an IHOP. I did go there once when it still was Shakey's, th...

I think there's a former Sambo's on 2nd Street (not sure if that's the exact street) in downtown San Jose serving as a chinese restaurant now (saw the diamond sign and Dennys-like architecture down there when I was at the San Jose Grand Prix Champcar race).
