Re: Macy's Zipper Store In Stockton, California

Here is a link to a photo. It's got the 'new' logo, and from the cars you can tell it's a recent photo. To the best of my knowledge, it's the only one designed like this. The other mid 60's Macy's CA stores in Sacramento (1963), Concord (67) and Daly City (68) all look similar to each other, but no...

Re: Former IHOP locations

San Bruno still has an active "cottage" location on El Camino Real, while the Arden-Arcade area in Sacramento (at Watt/El Camino) has one that has been closed for about a year or two.

Re: Safeway-Oakland, Calif-3747 Grand Avenue

Thinking of old Oakland Safeways now, I checked Goole street view and see that the Claremont Ave. Safeway in Oakland is now closed. When did that happen? I always thought it was cool to see such a vintage store active in a relatively well-off area. Oh well, glad all of us are out there documenting ...

Re: A big discovery: 1976 Safeway California map!

The Bloomington marina ex-Safeway (at 18565 Valley Blvd) appears to now be "Casa de Ceramica" according to Google Street View, and apparently used to be Bloomington Bargain Barn. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=18565+Valley+Blvd,+92316&sll=34...

Re: Thrifty Junior Drug Stores

romleys: The SSF Thrifty Jr. which you photographed recently did not make it to the Rite Aid merger and was already Kragen by 1993-1994 or so, not exactly sure when.

Re: Safeway marina variants

Apparently there's another Marina that looks to be an older store (1950s) converted with the glass front:
