Re: Former 1940s Safeway Oakland, CA
I'm so glad you like it. It looks a lot like this 1940s Safeway (from Pleasant Family Shopping), so it probably was built from the ground up; http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ei2Ik5quiI0/RuCySySINOI/AAAAAAAAAME/-gnaJKmXlqc/s1600-h/safeway+1945a.jpg Good observation.

Former 1940s Safeway Oakland, CA
5908 San Pablo Ave. Now an independent, Gateway Supermarket. Nice that it still has some of the original details, like the old sign lamps on the right wall; http://maps.google.com/maps?layer=c&cbll=37.842223,-122.283474&panoid=rdcWV6Umi0VPyeRm2TvIVQ&cbp=12,41.860470,,1,-3.623256&cid=...

The photo of 401 A Ave in Lake Oswego: This location opened in February 1965.

Burlingame, CA 1960s Walgreens closing
Just in case anybody's in the area and wants one last look, the Walgreens at 1420 Howard Ave in Burlingame is relocating soon. I was told by an employee that the last day in this building will be Tuesday, April 13. This freestanding store opened around April 1968, and still looks much the same today...

Re: Vintage Supermarkets in Movies and TV (Old Ones Only Please)
The 2005 movie Because Of Winn-Dixie is about a girl who finds a homeless dog on her way to run an errand at a Winn-Dixie. Towards the middle of the trailer, there are exterior and interior views of an old (1950s?) Winn-Dixie;
