Anybody know any history of this Albuquerque grocery store on East Central Avenue?

That Pylon kind of looks like an old Safeway.

The holes on the top seem to back that up, you can almost make out the 'w' and 'y' too.

Yes, this store is definately an old Safeway. I was in there last summer while on vacation.....I have several interior photos....all the original Safeway lettering is intact on the walls, and also still has the original aisle signs and markers. It's a really dirty, cluttered store, but was relatively busy the two times I was there.

No one seemed to care if I took pictures......I have some pix of this to get to David, our Host, soon.....

The store still had that old "Safeway Smell".....when you walked in the door. Not a bad smell, but just a smell that seemed to be in all the older Safeways when I was a kid.
