Unusual '60s 7-Eleven

Post by StoreLiker2006 »

This photo has me wondering: what other pre-1967 7-Elevens had looked like this one?

Here is the proof:

(You must look at the far left)

Looking at the far left, the 7-Eleven's storefront is rather unusual in that its sign appears to look rather isotropic(?). If there were two that I remember (from the spring of 1988), the Lake Oswego (5th & "A") and the 50th & Powell (the latter no longer a 7-Eleven c. 1990) locations both had this isotropic storefront, but with the 1968-style 7-Eleven logos (in neon) instead of the originals. Both of these locations opened c. 1965.
