Re: Vons on Catalina Island: former Safeway?
Actually, it may be, if only for this reason: Safeway's genesis lies in a three-chain merger (Skaggs, Seelig, MacMarr) and with all the stores renamed to Safeway over a period of time, none of them really are the "first Safeway" per se. To be more precise, the mergers happened as a sequen...

I wish I had a clue about what could be done. I'd drive up myself if I weren't flying to the west coast for Thanksgiving with the in-laws this weekend. It's a depressing thought that they may be just thrown away. If anyone can arrange temporary storage, I might be able to give a home to a couple of ...

Very cool articles! Is this location still open?? If you mean the location shown in the original article at the beginning of the thread, yes. It's at 15 Marina Boulevard in San Francisco. It's been expanded, and the interior has been remodeled a few times, but it still has its Marina facade. The mu...

Re: Whittier, CA Mystery Store
(Please Note: I apologize if this is in the wrong forum) Thanks for caring. Yes, anything that involves questions about specific locations should now go in the Commercial Archaeology forum. From looking at the front, I was going to suggest Mayfair, but it looks a little too deep for that. They were...
