Re: Blythe CA
The Ford dealer mentioned is Larry Green Ford. It is a honey of a site! You can certainly tell it was a market from the facade and the parking lot. The entry/exit doors are still there...that lead to the "showroom" in the front right corner. The back of the store is the service area. The l...

Re:
The HESPERIA CA Albertsons was originally a PayLess Drug Store. The site was demolished to build a LUCKY/SAV-ON "combo store". Yet, the merger with Albertsons took place BEFORE the store ever opened as LUCKY. Yet, the interior was already completed as LUCKY. To this day, the store has the...

Re: Pay Less-Safeway and Pay Less-Albertsons Combos

Re: Gro Warehouse
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there's also still one in one of the towns around Palm Springs too, maybe Indio. We stopped in when I was moving east about six months ago. It was pretty much all-Alberstons too, except for the lack of decor... Yes, I have been to this desert area location befor...

Re: Albertsons in Houston
Was just in Houston. Noticed a number of KROGER sites from the highway...that obviously had been Albertsons. The PHARMACY & FOOD signage under KROGER must've been the Albertsons signage...as it is in the Albertsons script. The Albertsons distribution center in Katy TX was purchased by 99 CENTS O...

Mervyn's and Target took over the building in 1983, with Mervyn's closing in early 2009. Target still occupies its portion of the 185,...

There are tarps over what appears to have been Sizzler signage. There is a NEW liquor license on the door, dated 12/7/10. So the site turn...

Re: Older McDonald's Locations
The site in Palm Desert CA (on 111 near Monterey) is basically built into the center...like a strip mall shop. I assume it was built before drive-thru's became the norm. They have never added a drive thru...as their locale physically could not have one. I guess they must do well enough without one, ...
