Re: Former Arby's locations
The Arby's near me in eastern Sacramento closed about a year ago under rather odd circumstances (seems to have been a lost-their-lease situation).

Here's a surreal photo of the now-closed Ellice Avenue marina Safeway in Winnipeg:

Re: Former Supermarket in Pinole-San Pablo Ave. & Tara Hills Dr.
I think that there is a former supermarket building at the southwesterly corner of San Pablo Avenue and Tara Hills Drive in the Pinole area of Contra Costa County. Perhaps it is a former gable Safeway? Here's google street view of the site (actually in San Pablo) - http://maps.google.com/maps?sourc...

Re: Safeway With Pylon Tower! Denver,CO
IIRC, I haven't seen a photo of it in a while, but I recall a green-pylon Safeway still in operation in metro Denver as well.

Late 1950s Safeway (marina?) in North Beach San Francisco?
Just saw this posted on Flickr yesterday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/4611145528/ The photo is from 1982, and the building doesn't exist anymore (I drove by that intersection a few times this month) - architecture looks to be rather similar to the recently replaced marina Safeway that was...

The person behind all those Winnipeg Safeway photos has just put up several blog posts on the chain's architectural history in that locale:

Re: That used to be a department store?!

Re: Re:
I thought Randalls has been owned by Safeway since at least around 1984. At that time, the Marina stores started closing, while more Randalls were popping up. Lots of former Safeways in Houston became Randalls in 1988. How was it that the Southern California Safeways became Vons and not the other w...
