Some very nice touches that the original tenant added. Ashame, in the end that probably made the place look dated and so less appealing to the "younger set". Around here there are tons of former Acme or A&P grocery stores and you can always tell what they used to be. The most interesting Acmes had a large gable roof with an all-glass front, which made the stores very open & bright inside. Others were just rectangular boxes but with some nifty signage. A&P had a sort of colonial look to it and you can spot those old stores real easy. I can still remember a Safeway from back in the seventies that I thought was neat, with a wrought-iron fence out front with a big 'S' designed in. I often wonder if those things were as interesting when new as they are looking back.
