San Francisco-1959-Khrushchev Supermarket Visit (cancelled)
Posted: 07 Oct 2009 04:26
Premier of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev was scheduled to tour an "American supermarket" when he visited San Francisco, Calif. in 1959. However, Khrushchev decided instead to deviate from his schedule and visit with ILWU union workers, including its leader Harry Bridges. Does anybody know which San Francisco supermarket was to be the site of Khrushchev's visit? I assume that contemporary newspaper articles would reveal such details. It probably was a relatively new supermarket building.
