Funny, I just spent the better part of the early morning ( 1-530 AM ) sitting in the emergency room of Sutter General waiting for a co-worker who bashed his head on a fork lift! There is no trace of any shopping center here anymore!

my guess is that building in the back is the old county hospital. That area has been all reconstructed and the site now has a UCD medical building on it.

The interior was still that of the old Family Mart design although the exterior sinage had been changed. As a Foodmax, this location lasted a few years. Became a CUB Foods location but CUB ...

Corti had a market in the Arden Fair Mall adjacent to a 60's era "Food Circus" and a T-Drugs. I believe the entire building was demolished and a Max's Opera Cafe and movie theatre occupy the area that housed the above businesses. Max's Opera Cafe' has been gone for a couple of years now.
