Re: 1959 Chain Store Age piece on Marina Safeway
Posted: 21 Feb 2010 19:57
The San Francisco Chronicle's "Wayback Machine" of November 30, 2008 had an item from December 5, 1958 about the San Francisco Planning Commission's unanimous approval of "[t]he hotly disputed plans for a Safeway supermarket at Gashouse Cove (now the Marina)." Apparently the "Marina Safeway" was informally known as the "Gashouse Cove" Safeway during the approval process. I assume that the "Gashouse" was the large, tall structure that once loomed over the area.
