Vintage shots from days gone by!

Fred Meyer's!!! Back in the day, the greatest stores in the world, resteraunt, jewelry, groceries , clothes and EVERYTHING ELSE (including lumber ), you name it!
Of course now they suck, just a typical big box type store.

 

Not police they are soldiers.

 

If you are too young to remember Piggly Wiggly, then...........festoon yourself!

 

I have one. Been sitting inside for years. Bought from the original owner/builder about 20 years ago.

 

they are still around.

 

You are right. While I will miss seeing just which cars some of you thin-skinned gentlemen feel are "ugly," I should go and I will. Thanks for setting me straight.

 

You've been busy, Gary...thanks!

 

The last time I remember seeing a PW wasn't that long ago in 1988 when my wife and I were passing through Tacoma WA on a road trip to Vancouver BC.

 

I've heard of Food Giant but it's had to have been at least 40 years ago.
I remember they had a logo with a farmer dumping a bunch of produce out of a basket.

 

Hey, how about Market Basket?

 

Lakewood Blvd in Downey CA.
I lived right around the corner from here.

 

This is a picture of Spencer, IA. My grandfather was the owner of Spencer Music Supply!

 

Yep, did that for 30 years.

 

I shop there weekly!!!!!

good stuff,good prices!!!

 

They still do well and treat their people decent too. No lumber anymore though.

 

… ah, anyone else find this lift a little strange ? So what are we missing here …. Front end supported by lift cylinder, check… Rear frame supported by two load stands, check … So how did they lift the car up south of the front frame …. ?

 

Our local Freddies had a home improvement center but closed it many years ago.
Nowadays having an instore Starbucks is the big priority.
