I have such a soft spot for this building! If you ignore the stink factor, it has a distinct design that I suspect was signature to Safeway stores from this era. In fact, there’s another arch shaped Safeway on Market Street in San Francisco. I wish that they were able to incorporate the existing building into the new one. Since it’s set so far back from the road, I know that wouldn’t have been practical. At the very least, an arch-shaped design nod would have been nice. And heaven knows the new building could use something to spice it up. Yawn.

Like human feces. Which is why “Stinky Safeway” is much too generous. I know it among my friends as “Doo-doo Safeway”.

Super duper excited about this. Just when I was thinking about moving… I will miss Matt…Hello Starbucks…

can’t wait t be able to shop there. I buy a lot of stuff at Yes! but they not always have everything. Wondering if in the process of razing the old Safeway they could also raze the hideous Wendy’s across the street as a matter of public service

Dang! That looks fantastic. I say we dub our new Safeway, “Shiny Safeway” once it’s come to the ‘hood. Can’t wait for it to be finished.

Safeway has way better deals than Giant. Wish there was a nice one in my ‘hood.

Been to the Social Safeway on Wisconsin Ave in Georgetown? That one’s hella swanky. It rivals most Whole Foods!

Really? I think it’s horrendous. Looks like something from a nightmare era in American architecture.
