That's a Texaco, but definitely a newer one with the c-store behind the canopy (which is the latest iteration Chevron-style).Jeff wrote:I can't post from my cell phone but there is a Texaco in Anaheim on the northwest corner of Magnolia Ave and La Palma Ave. Still open just drove by it last week.

Re: The Very First Texaco "System 2000" Stations (1981-1983)
I researched a bit and found this. 1295 Third Ave. in Chula Vista was built as a standard Texaco System 2000 concept complete with car wash. As with many Texaco stations, this eventually was sold to Shell. I still can't find any period photos, but figure this in typical Black & Red and that's it.

This address in Brookfield, CT is listed as "Texaco System 2000" in several listings. It's currently a Shell (which many Texaco stations converted to in the early 2000s). http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&q=138+Federal+Rd%0ABrookfield,+CT+06804&um=1&...

Re: Piggly Wiggly Locations-San Diego Area-1959

Re: 10 Most Unique McDonald's
There's one in Missouri (if I recall) that spans OVER the interstate (40 or 44, I can't recall) we stopped there in 1995, at the time it was the largest in the world, even bigger than the (then-new) Moscow Mickey D's and before the Beijing store. That's actually in Vinita, Oklahoma, over the Will R...

Re: Edmonds, WA: Former Centennial A&P?
That's extremely interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a Centennial out west. AFAIK they never built them in California, opting for more modern appearances. How rare are these centennials out west?
