Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Lucky's was founded in the peninsula in the 1930's, but it really didn't take off until after WWII, when in 1947 it opened one of the first supermarkets as its flagship store in downtown San Leandro. This store featured firsts such as an in-house coffee shop and was Lowry designed.

Here are some shots:

Lastly. Sadly, this location was finally shut down in 2005 due to declining revenue and a city plan to redevelop the area. Typically, it's been a vacant parking lot since then!

Please note that the big tower and covered drive were long gone by the 1990's...

Dogs in supermarkets.

I don't think they are allowed up here in New England. I am a dog person but I wouldn't think of taking my dog into a supermarket.

Walmart ... I honestly don't know what to make of them lately. I think they are on the decline. Ever since they went into the supermarket business up here they no longer stock there other areas very well. I have to go to a Walmart without the grocery section to find a well stocked dry goods area.
 
Dogs in Grocery Stores

Are becoming more common, ugh...

I've been in some Wal-Mart's (pre-grocery) which were pathetically stocked and some which were immaculately clean and well stocked (the two towns are vastly different too - we were told "if you return it, take it to Valpo" - this was in Michigan City iirc).
 
A lot of people abuse the "service dog" entitlement. Some people can get their certificates for an "emotional support dog" just by mailing in a check to get the card. A lot of this is pure BS. Some states are tightening the rules to ensure that the dog actually does perform a service for the owner and that it has been trained to be around people and crowds and knows how to behave itself.

Some people don't even bother. They approach airline boarding gates with a dog, tell the agent it's an "emotional support service dog" when really it's not. They just want their dog to be with them. And this type of activity makes it harder for people who really do need/have a real service dog.

Last year there was a disabled veteran who got tossed off of a flight at the gate because the flight attendants didn't think the dog was a service dog. The dog actually was a fully licensed and trained service dog trained to help the guy with his vision because he only had partial vision. The dog (German Shepard) was stowed under a row of seats as they are trained to do during their training. The F/A's didn't like that. Even though the dog had it's picture ID card with him the airline wouldn't accept it. See what I mean?
