@bosak@flx.masto.host Ah, the smog again. 😁
What strikes me about this one (#1) is the brands and signage. Brings back memories of the early 1970s. Bank of America. Arby’s Roast Beef. Security Pacific Bank. Datsun. Thrifty.
I’m not familiar with Squires Restaurant but that sign is beautifully mid-century.
EDIT: There is also a Fotomat kiosk behind the Squires Restaurant sign!

@bosak@flx.masto.host Speaking of old brands, Thrifty drug stores are no more, but it lives on in ice cream! I remember in the late 1970s getting a scoop at Thrifty for 15¢ when other places were more like 75¢. This is a tub my wife bought just the other day. (Didn’t ask the price.)
