Re: De Falco's-San Diego Area-1959
1666 Rosecrans was indeed a Vons, but closed just over a year ago. Vacant. Clairemont Quad Shopping Center: hard to track this down, It's now Clairemont Village Shopping Center (3015 Clairemont Drive). Looks like a store named Kiel's, a 2-store grocery chain. 3994 Clairemont Mesa Drive: the center i...

Re: Big Bear Chain-San Diego Area-1959
836 Palm in IB: literally a block from my house. I always figured it was something, the sides and back are much older than the facade. It's now an independent called Wally's (who used to be IGA affiliated up until a year or so ago) 2320 Fletcher: Now a 99 Cents Only store. Easily spottable since it ...

Re: A&P Super Market Locations-San Diego Area-1959
Coronado... so that's what's next to the VONS store... I wonder if the A&P and Safeway were ever open at the same time? Store currently empty, don't know anything of the tenancy. Guessing it was a 40's style store by the size and architecture. (attached) La Jolla: probably demolished, that side ...

Re: All-American Superama Chain-San Diego Area-1959
The Logan & Euclid location is gone, though there's a sizable parking lot nearby that seems out of place with the current businesses... The Lakeside location could have been on one of two street corners, one has the Lakeside Plaza, and then there's a large grassy parcel around a gas station. The...

Re: Super Fresh logo history
According to Wikipedia, The script logo started in 1994. My experience with the A&P company wasn't until 1997 (Farmer Jack) and by that time, of course, the training VHS tapes had that logo.Ephrata1966 wrote:When was the previous (pre-2005) Super Fresh logo new?

Re: Blythe CA
Are you sure it closed before the Vons takeover? I just looked at Google Maps, and that parcel is still labeled as "Vons Shopping Center".Dean wrote: The Safeway in Blythe was converted to a Ford dealership. It closed before Vons took over.

Re: SeaTac Mall/Commons at Federal Way
The curlicue L was still in use at a few locations at that point; I'm not sure when they switched the the simplified cursive L, but I know none of the former F&N/Lipman's/Crescent locations (Valley River Mall in Eugene, Lloyd Center, Jantzen Beach and Corvallis) ever had it, so that would put t...

Re: Burger King Architecture and Signage, 1969-1974
That commercial is righteously funky!
It appears the lower trim is the same color as the lighted upper trim.
I also seem to remember this logo with red letters, was that when HOTW was all on one line, or just a variation?

Re: Baskin Robbins signs
My favorite BR logo was the one using 'old US cowboy west' style block letters. That went out, what, 25 years ago? http://www.baskinrobbins.com/About/OurHistory.aspx Scroll down towards the bottom of BR's history page. :) The "circus" logo was designed in 1959 and was BR's longest-standin...

History in Color: Grand Grocery, Lincoln, NE 1942
The Denver Post has an amazing set of color photos from the Depression era to early WWII in the US (1939-1943). Included is a shot of a Grand Grocery in Lincoln Nebraska in 1942. http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2010/07/26/captured-america-in-color-from-1939-1943/2363/ http://denverpost.slidesho...
