RSS FeedWayback: Groceries…1922 Style
We haven’t checked the PQ Living Wayback machine recently and a walk up to the CityVista Safeway to buy groceries reminded us of the positive changes we’ve seen in our area in 2008 alone.
How did you do your grocery shopping in 1922? Simple. Hit the Center Market (the subject of our first Wayback post also) which stood where the National Archives building stands now at 8th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. One of our favorite historical photo sites, Shorpy, has the above photo in full resolution showing what it was like as to shop the aisles at one of the largest markets in DC.
