    ^^my neighborhood grocery store in 1941 ... no longer a Safeway; now owned by a thieving Chinese slumlord ... best beer selection in town though.
    Photograph property of the Marion County Historical Society.




    ^^ 1974 ... bad part of my 'hood before they build a highway through the middle of it

    More at Shorpy.com; probably the most amazing website of high resolution vintage images I've ever found.

    How about some 1942 Middle America action? MUCH larger image on their website.
