Relikt Jahrgang

Wenn es schon eine Weile her ist, dass Sie den glamourösen, vom Art déco inspirierten Laden von Relic Vintage besucht haben – Sie wissen schon, der mit der Chaiselongue mit Gepardenmuster –, setzen Sie Ihr Augenmerk ein paar Blocks weiter: Relic ist die Straße hinuntergezogen. Der Raum ist größer als je zuvor, sodass Sie immer noch mit einer kuratierten Auswahl an feiner Vintage-Kleidung und Accessoires für Männer und Frauen aus den 1920er bis 1960er Jahren begrüßt werden, die in einem organisierten Layout präsentiert werden.

Das Schöne an Held Over ist, dass Sie mit der Absicht hineingehen, einfach ein 20er-Jahre-Flapperkleid für Ihre nächste Themenparty zu kaufen, und Sie werden – nachdem Sie stundenlang die Gänge durchsucht haben – mit wilden 60er-Jahre-Musterhosen gehen , ein Ballkleid aus den 80ern, eine fluoreszierende Windjacke mit Blockfarben und einige Strumpfbänder. // 1543 Haight St. (Upper Haight), instagram.com

MNA Fri. Dec. 2 pg. 3

“The first robbery to take place in Manistee for some time was committed last night at the Tom Morris coal office, Water street.  About $220 in cash and some stamps were taken from the safe which had been left open, also a box of matches…

“This morning the office was found in a disorderly state, the papers on the desk mixed up and the safe ransacked…

“Police so far have not been able to obtain a clue … Just how entrance to the building was effected, has not been ascertained either, the door to the building being found locked this morning.  

“Golden Rule Bargain Days are to become an institution in Manistee. 

“After two successful attempts, it can be safely said that the project … has been completely accepted by the buying public. 

“The best demonstration was made yesterday when, in spite of a disagreeable rain, the amount of trading surpassed the first Golden Rule Day…

“Yesterday’s Bargain Day met the approval of many who were doing their Christmas shopping early. In a number of stores suitable presents were found at greatly reduced prices.  

“The opening practice of the High school basketball candidates yesterday afternoon in Ramsdell hall was a lively one, about 50 students manifesting their interest in the sport by trying out for the squad….

“Manistee should stand high in the list of cities which have made a good shipping record during the ‘Perfect Package’ month of November. 

“Agent Kettle of the American Railway Express company this morning said that out of a total of 1,346 shipments, only four imperfect packages were found, and that all of these four were received at the local office during the first half of the month.  Since Nov. 14, no imperfect packages entered the office … Between 4500 and 5000 packages had been handled during the month, as in many cases, a shipment is made up of anywhere from two to ten or more packages.    

“It must be great to be so rich you don’t have to pay your bills.

“If the holidays lasted ten years, even then there would be late shoppers. 

“As Noah Heap puts it: There seem to be ten ways of being mean for every single way of being decent. 

“People who jump at conclusions get the wrong ones. 

“Life to the turkey is just one darn holiday after another.

“It must make a farmer mad to return from buying eggs and see his hens loafing about the yard.

“The open season for birds, deer, squirrels, etc., does not usually last more than a few weeks, but the government hunts the taxpayer every day in the year.

MNA Sat. Dec. 3 pg. 1

“CHICAGO, Dec. 3.–Lolita Armstrong Mitchell, daughter of the millionaire packer and Chicago’s wealthiest woman, today led the fight against doctors who have closed the doors of Chicago’s hospitals to Dr. Adolf Lorenz, world famous orthopedic surgeon … ‘to repay the debt I owe Dr. Lorenz for my health and happiness.’

“A statement issued by orthopedic surgeons of Chicago gave the following reasons for opposing Dr. Lorenz’s visit:

“That although he has created publicity on the grounds that he came to America to ‘pay back this country for help given starving Austrian children,’ he has admitted to friends the real reason is to retrieve his personal fortunes.  Because of danger of arousing hysteria among many unfortunates leading to bitter disappointment if they are not cured. That the results obtained by Americans are ‘just as good.’ “

“DETROIT. Dec. 3. — Hearing that a doctor had asked that the hospitals of this city be opened to Dr. Adolph Lorenz … Mayor Couzens issued a statement … and congratulated the hospital which will allow him to practice there. 

“Dr. Wainshuis, prominent member of the Michigan Medical association, wired the federal local doctors asking that they use their influence to prevent Dr. Lorenz being permitted to practice in this city.  He said that because he believed in the slogan ‘America for Americans…’

“The humanitarian work of Dr. Lorenz…reached Manistee before his present visit.  The lad who is indebted to Dr. Lorenz is Martin Redmann, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Redmann, Second avenue. 

“Martin is being cured indirectly through the powers of Dr. Lorenz.  The intermediate agent is Dr. Frederick Mueller of Chicago.  Martin was a cripple for 11 years and now is able to walk. 

“About 20 years ago when Dr. Lorenz was brought to the United States to cure the invalid daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, Dr. Mueller became his student. Later he went to Vienna for further instruction…On his return to Chicago Dr. Mueller began practicing [Lorenz’s] system and was successful … Martin, then 14 years old, was still crawling on his hands and knees, a pitiful victim of infantile paralysis.

“Born a lively, fun-loving youngster, Martin was stricken at the age of three. His left side was completely paralyzed and curvature of the spine resulted.  In this condition he literally crawled through school, completing the six grades in the Washington school. He was taken to and from school in a handcart, but in order to move around the classroom he crawled on his hands and knees. Even around his home and … at play he had to crawl…

“Three years ago … he was taken to Columbus Hospital in Chicago. In 60 days Dr. Mueller had him standing on both feet. Since that time he has had eight operations and three casts. The surgeon is now treating his spine. 

“Martin is able to walk … with a cane as his only help. He is a business college night school student and walks up three flights of stairs with the assistance of a classmate. He was 17 years old on Oct. 8.

“Manager Otto J. Lauer of the Lyric says he is indebted to Dr. Lorenz and Dr. Mueller for saving his leg.  

 “With the beginning of excavations at Fifth avenue park for a new well, one of the biggest and most desirable public improvements in Manistee for several years is under way…

“The site chosen for the reservoir is ideal. The source of pure water is unlimited…

“The construction of the reservoir will fill a long-felt want. When it is completed and in operation it is believed it will solve the water famine here every hot summer.

Pg. 3

“A team of horses, used in hauling wood from the lot between the Chas. Bigge and Jack Kann residences, to the Bigge home, this noon created a lot of excitement in that neighborhood, when it decided to take a sprint, cross-lots, drawing a large farmer wagon behind it. 

“…The horses ran past the garage … tearing down the door. The team proceeded across the Bigge lawn, breaking several small trees, and southward across the Miller and Baker lawns … where the whiffle-tree of the wagon broke when the latter struck a large tree. 

“The horses, free from impediments, galloped south on Maple street. They were caught at the foot of the hill, near the railroad tracks.  

“The 1921-22 indoor baseball season got away to a flying start last night when, before a fine audience in Ramsdell hall the Consumers Power nine defeated the Cooper-Daniels aggregation 12 to 10 in a battle which was a series of thrills until the final out…

“Dancing to music by Spin Johnson’s orchestra followed the game and was enjoyed by close to 100 couples. Altogether it was a highly agreeable evening’s entertainment, and may be regarded as an auspicious inaugural of the league season.

“The finishing touches are being put on father’s pocketbook. 

“Cotton stockings will be cheaper next year but nobody seems to care.

“A writer inquires: ‘Why do girls leave home? Why do they come back?’ Our observation impels the belief that they leave because the movie starts at 7 and that they return about 10, after lapping up a couple of sundaes, because there is no place else to go.  

MNA Mon. Dec 5 pg. 1

“SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5. — A murky atmosphere of whispered or implied charges of all sorts was left behind today by the manslaughter trial of Roscoe Arbuckle [Actor ‘Fatty’ Arbuckle], which ended with disagreement and discharge of the jury….

“Postmaster B. C. Briggs has secured the co-operation of public school teachers in his effort to improve the movement of Christmas mail, by having them read the following request to their pupils:

“‘Christmas is almost here. 

“‘Your great post office department has a big job ahead and needs your help.

“‘Think of what it means to be Santa Claus to our 100,000,000 people and to deliver Christmas parcels to every family in this great country…

“‘It can be done … if we may have your help…

“‘When you go home today please take this message to your parents and friends:

“‘Our postmaster has asked us to mail our Christmas parcels this week, for unless we do, Uncle Sam’s load may be so heavy … that he won’t be able to deliver all the presents by Christmas eve.  

“‘The parcels must be well wrapped … and addressed plainly … You can put on your parcels “Do not open until Christmas.”

“‘Please do this and you will win the grateful appreciation of all the people who work in your post office.’

“Clothes may make the woman, but lack of them makes her mad. 

“Even when a man pays cash for an electric battery, he wants it charged. 

“If dentists sent their bills first we could grind our own teeth. 

“The average family man has enjoyed the long respite between the lawnmower and the show-shovel seasons. 

“As Noah Heap puts it:  Getting married is easier than being married….

MNA Tues. Dec. 6 pg. 1

“Definite, tangible propositions for the improvement of Manistee’s natural resort attractions through the building of lake shore boulevard drives north and south of the river and construction of a summer colony; construction of a trunk highway across the state from Manistee to Tawas City, with federal and state aid in the project; and prospects that Manistee at some not-too-distant date may become a port of entry for ocean-going steamships, were subjects brought to the attention of upward of 130 persons in attendance at the Members Forum of the Manistee Board of Commerce last night at the Chippewa.

“The meeting, second in the series and the first to really bring out discussion of local improvement, served the double-barreled purpose of giving Manisteeans a definite objective toward which to work for immediate realization…and inspiration to look for the future for even greater fulfillment…

“The speaker of the occasion, James E. Coad, secretary of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater association … had his audience with him from the start, and his exposition of the deep water project which is now making great headway, left his hearers with a clearer insight into the great possibilities of bringing the heart of the American continent 1,000 miles nearer to the markets of the world through the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river artery….

Pg. 3

“Announcement is made today by Robert R. Ramsdell, in charge of the building on Oak street adjoining the Gardner corner and owned by his mother, Mrs. T. J. Ramsdell, that John Foy had leased it for a new bakery.

“Work will start tomorrow in remodeling the interior…

“The Century System of Bakeries which bought out the Foy Home Bakery early this year, after operating successfully for two years…recently went out of business and the Foys repurchased the equipment…

“The new Foy bakery is expected to resume business as soon as the equipment is installed.  

“One thing that is sweeping the country is vacuum cleaners.

“Kids were out yesterday with their last year’s sleds and rejoiced as the crystal flakes fell. Fine opportunity to sharpen up the rusted runners. 

“‘Stage scenes have a psychological effect on the audience,’ claims a movie bug. ‘I remember when the town was wet and a bar or drinking scene was shown, scores of fellows at the close would slip into the nearest bar to slake their thirst. The lighting of a cigarette makes smokers out front want to do the same.’  

“Looks like an early Christmas.

“From Ye Olde Autograph Album: A subscriber in Thompsonville sends in these two gems: ‘Alas, alas! I am so dumb, I cannot write in this album.’ ‘The pen is poor, my ink is pale, My hand shakes like a little dog’s tail.’        

“Isn’t that tender sentiment? Thanks, Frank.  

MNA Wed. Dec. 7 pg. 2

“Miss Martha Filer will leave this week for New York City, where she will spend a month before going to Florida for the remainder of the winter. 

“A Christmas sale will be held in the Pilot rest rooms by St. Mary’s church….

“Members of the Danish Lutheran choir will hold a bazaar….

“The Ladies Aid society of the Trinity Lutheran church, First street, will have a fair and social tomorrow….

“The members of Mrs. J. W. Gregory’s class of the Congregational Sunday school have sent a generous Christmas box to the Oteen hospital at Oteen, North Carolina, where there are 1,500 disabled soldiers….

“Mrs. Jennie Olson, who won a pig at the Elks temple recently and who is cashier at the Lyric theatre, entertained the employees of the Lyric and a few others, at a roast Monday night. Musical numbers were furnished by the Lyric orchestra. Manager Otto Lauer and Harry J. Aarons were participants in a pork-eating contest.  

Pg. 3

“…The city commission in its meeting last night finished its official business within a short time. 

“A petition that a water main be laid on Manistee street, between Thirteenth and Fifteenth … was put off for consideration until next spring, when weather conditions are more favorable.

“Another petition by Robert Mauzy and Ben Eckhoff, and endorsed by officials of all of the larger manufacturing companies in the city and Filer City was presented … It was asked that they be given the exclusive right to operate two or more motorbusses between Manistee and Filer City on a regular schedule … The petition was referred to City Manager Shields and City Attorney Campbell, and [it was] recommended that they report on it at the next meeting.

“The revised charter … was not brought up for adoption last night, as the city attorney found a number of articles which are believed objectionable.

“It was recommended that these be brought to the attention of the charter committee for amendment, and that the city attorney then report…

“The examination of [the woman] who is being held on the charge of killing her illegitimate grandchild in September was adjourned yesterday … The examination of witnesses in the case of the child’s mother…held in connection, will be continued Thursday afternoon.

“[The grandmother] throughout the examination yesterday showed no emotion whatever and it was testified by Sheriff E. M. Hallock that she has never done so, not even when the body of the child was uncovered in the woods a few weeks ago. She gives no evidence whatever of understanding the seriousness of the charge on which she is held….

“Word comes from a southern state that they are picking roses there. Pooh! That’s nothing. We got ours all picked months ago. 

“As Noah Heap puts it:  Learn to do one thing exceedingly well, and opportunity will beat a brass drum outside your door. 

“Noah Little ventures this opinion: Judging by some of the latest Invention children, Mrs. Necessity’s latest match was unfortunate. 

“Red flannel underwear, like Dad and Ma wore 20 years ago, brings a smile from us nowadays, but we wonder if there was as much rheumatic then as now. 

MNA Thurs. Dec. 8 pg. 1

“In the death at his home in Arcadia at 4:30 yesterday afternoon of Henry Mauntler, Manistee county lost one of the pioneer settlers and the town of Arcadia lost one of her most prominent and industrious citizens. 

“Death was due to complications. Mr. Mauntler was ailing since last March. His age was 71, and in July of this year he completed 40 years’ residence in Arcadia. 

“Mr. Mauntler came to Arcadia in 1881 from Milwaukee a few months after Henry Starke, also of Milwaukee, founded the village.  Ever since then he was identified with the development of Arcadia….

Pg. 2

“[What’s Doing In Our Schools] Night school classes will not be offered in Manistee this year … the final opinion being that not enough people had expressed their interest in night school work to warrant starting the classes. It appears that a large number of young men and women in the city are being served by the Part-Time school and this probably accounts for the small number desiring evening school classes….

“[High School] The second meeting of the Roman Legion will be held Friday … The general theme of the program will deal with the amusements of the Romans … A Roman Tragedy, ‘Pyrimus and Thisbe’ will be given, all parts to be rendered in Latin…

“A general assembly was held at the Lyric theater Thursday morning … The Glee Club entertained … The High School Orchestra gave some numbers … The keynote of the assembly was struck by Dr. Oldt of the Methodist Church, who spoke along the lines suggested by the fact that this is American Education Week … A feature of the occasion was the distribution of ‘M’s’ to the regulars in football, heroes of the gridiron….

“[Lincoln School] The Art classes … are busy perfecting their Christmas work … The primary grades are making Christmas calendars, gift cards, handkerchief cases, and tree decorations … Last Friday was our banner day at the Library. One hundred and twenty-three books were given out by Miss Froberg….

“[McKinley School] Our library circulation is very good. Some children read two books a week … The teachers are completing plans for a Christmas program….

“[Washington School] All of the grades are busy with their special Christmas work. The Christmas spirit pervades each and every room….

“With the object of discussing the matter of having the city commission pass an ordinance which will prohibit all but licensed electricians from wiring residences and business places, the Consumers Power Company last night gave a dinner at the Midway which was attended by employees of the company, local electrical contractors and their men, and members of the company’s indoor baseball team. Music was furnished by Spin Johnson’s orchestra, the services of which were donated. 

“…Consumers Power company, along with other public utilities … is trying to gain co-operation … in a campaign for safe installation of electricity…

“Slides showing old and unsafe and the new and safe devices for installing switches, cut-outs, and meters were used … The public utilities are now trying to induce the contractors to adopt an iron-clad safety cabinet, of standard make, in which to enclose the main line switches and customers’ cut-outs, to insure safety.

“It was not a stormy night, but a dark one, made to order for a crime. The vicinity of the Peoples Fuel company coalyard was forbidding and foreboding.

“Patrolman Freedlund passed by the place at 10 o’clock. All was quiet. Later he went by again … and heard a noise in the barn.  Investigation revealed a horse saddled with a blanket, to all appearances ready for a hurried getaway … This horse was to be used in an undertaking far different from the steed in Paul Revere’s famous ride.

“Freedlund notified Chief Grady, who left his comfortable fireside … The two officers decided the first step … would be to remove [the miscreant’s] means of effecting an escape. So the animal was taken to another barn. 

“Next day the policemen learned there was no wrongdoing at all. A well known Stronach man, who was attending a party here, had simply sheltered his horse in the coalyard barn until he was ready to go back home.  

“Give anything. It is sure to be ‘The very thing I wanted’ and to be exchanged anyway.

“What has become of the old-fashioned girl who used to clutch at her skirts when she rounded a windy corner?

“Santa Claus may not come down through the chimney, but it is a safe bet that a Christmas present of a ton of coal would go out that way.

“Rich widows are the most desirable second-hand articles on the market. 

“Noah Little observes that old timers like himself are glad they lived in the good old days when one could kiss a girl and not taste anything but girl. 

“As Noah Heap puts it: Every town has two kinds of people–those who talk about making improvements and those who make them.

“[Article] When you see a distinguished automobile that resembles an armored car, Monday, don’t run for your lives. It will only be Dr. J. A. King’s touring equipage leaving on the first lap of a motor trip to Florida. 

“Capitalizing his experiences of an auto trip a few years ago to southern Kansas, Dr. King has fitted out his Chevrolet touring car with every convenience conceivable and yet not destroying the flavor of camping out.  Besides himself and Mrs. King, the car will contain Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Thompson of Bear Lake.  Maurice Jones of Bear Lake and three friends will accompany the King party in Jones’ Buick. 

“On the front bumper Dr. King has constructed a platform which will hold the tent and its equipment. In the rear is another platform to hold a waterproof box about the size of a small trunk. This will contain the personal effects. An attachment is also made for the spare tires.

“The running board on the right side has been utilized to support the kitchenette. On the running board has been placed a long box with three compartments. One will house a stove, another food, and a small triangular one the eating utensils.

“A special feature of this box is the cover which can be lifted up and used for a table, a movable resting arm for it being attached to the side of the box. The running board on the other side has been equipped with a guard to hold the extra luggage. 

“Dr. King had the back of the front seat reconstructed so that it moves up and down. During the day it will serve as back-rest and at night it will be lowered to serve as a unit of a bed, the front and rear seats with a small mattress to fill the space between completing the bed. A sleeping tent for the other members of the party will be attached to the side of the car. 

“Dr. King will make his first day’s stop at Muskegon. He will continue next day to Melbourne, Florida, and there will be joined by Dr. C. A. Norconk and son Ward of Bear Lake who preceded them a month ago. They have already secured a cottage. The party expects to return home in April.

“[Editorial] SATISFIED CITIZENS.

“Own your own home. There is no finer slogan for an individual or a community. That’s how you will do better in Manistee and how Manistee will be better because of you. The man who owns a home may not be a good citizen.  But the chances are much greater for good citizenship in the home owner than in the roomer, boarder or floater. A piece of ground and one’s own four walls makes for good citizenship.

“The city that has the most homes, the most home owners, will be the most prosperous and most happy city. Business men can well afford to aid in every legitimate way the purchase of homes. It means better labor and less ‘labor turnover.’ Henry Ford says that one secret of his success is that he treats his men fairly and retains them. The ‘labor turnover’ in his factories is very small. 

“The agitators, the radicals, the fellows who want to match more pay with less work are not of the home-earning, home-owning kind.  As a rule they can start the trouble, put on their hats and move on to new pastures. The home owner is respected and self-respecting.  He wants to give a square deal to his employer because he wants a square deal from his employer. He has a wife and family to steady him. He is not prone to preach armed revolution or sabotage. His city means something to him. He is a taxpayer on tangible property and his vote has a community meaning to him. He is an asset to the city. 

“Own your own home. However, that does not mean to buy a home on the plan of a dollar down and a dollar a week forever. It means the purchase of a home under honest, reasonable conditions that will have ownership and not promises of ownership.”

The Grocery Outlet on West Harvard Avenue in Roseburg, which has been supplying customers with cheap groceries, housewares and other items under different names for 30 years, is moving.

The store at 930 W. Harvard Ave. will take over the former JCPenney area in the Garden Valley Shopping Center. The move is scheduled for early next year, said Stephen Burton, who has owned the grocery outlet with his wife Kelly since October.

The move will give the Burtons and their new grocery store more of everything, said Stephen Burton – more customer parking, more retail and storage space, and with that additional storage space, more community service.

“We’re really focusing on the positives of this move,” said Burton. “Not only is the new building a brand new building with the aesthetics of a new store and a vastly improved shopping experience for space and flow, it also allows us to become a stronger community partner and reach even more families in need.”

The JCPenney store closed in mid-October after having been in the same location for more than 30 years. Since then it has stood empty in the Garden Valley Shopping Center, which is located at 780 NW Garden Valley Blvd. is located.

Connie Bennett, who runs the Garden Valley Shopping Center for Silva Management Co. in Eugene, said transforming the former JCPenney, which included clothing, home accessories, bedding, and the like, into a grocery store with large refrigerated shelves is a huge task, and work on it should begin this month.

Bennett also said banners announcing the new Grocery Outlet should appear in the next few weeks, as well as a new sign on Garden Valley Boulevard promoting the Grocery Outlet and other stores in the mall, including Michaels, Ross Dress For Less, and Dollar tree.

The former JCPenney, at around 34,000 square feet, will give the Burtons a lot more space for their grocery store – about 3,000 square feet of additional retail space and even more storage space.

That will allow the couple to store more goods, which means more savings for customers and more opportunities for community service, said Stephen Burton.

In the 10 or so months that the Burtons owned the shop, they’ve been involved in several charity events, including fundraising for the Fish Food Pantry and the Dream Project, gift baskets for the Association of Vietnam Veterans of America, and providing food and water to the Senior center Roseburg during the recent heat wave.

More recently, Grocery Outlet donated pet food to the Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center to feed animals evicted by the Jack Fire.

“The equipment upgrades, the expansion of our retail space and the expansion of our warehouse will put us in an excellent position to take the next steps in our public relations,” said Stephen Burton. “It is currently under development, but one indication of our plans is to be able to send as many food insecure students home as possible with enough food for the weekend so they can focus without the distraction of an empty stomach. “

A LONG STORYThe Harvard Avenue Grocery Outlet Store has had a variety of owners over the past few years. In late 2017, Tom Leavitt retired and Mindi and Ken Admire took over the new shop owners.

Leavitt has owned the store with his wife, Ronda Leavitt, since it opened in 1975. It was then called Canned Foods and was located where Oregon Tool & Supply is now at 276 SE Stephens St.

A fire in 1988 resulted in the store being remodeled, then in 1991, when the store grew out of the old building, the Leavitts moved it to its current location, which offered more space and parking. Eventually, Canned Foods turned into Grocery Outlet as it began stocking more items such as meat, produce, clothing, and wine.

The history of the grocery outlet nationwide dates back to 1946 when Jim Read opened a military surplus store called Cannery Sales in San Francisco. In 1971 the Del Monte store signed its first supplier agreement.

In 1982 Peter and Steven Read took over the management of the company. In 1999 the business started selling fresh produce and four years later fresh meat was added.

In 2015, the Grocery Outlet expanded into the Los Angeles market. Today Grocery Outlet has more than 400 independently operated stores in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

Last year has been a difficult year for Garden Valley Shopping Center, owned by RAM Property Development in Eugene. Pier 1 was closed earlier this year. The 10,000 square meter store had been in the mall for 15 years. The place is still free today.

In addition, the pandemic forced most of the mall’s stores to close for much of the year.

While the move of the grocery outlet gives the shopping center a boost, the south side of Roseburg will remain without a grocery store. A Safeway in downtown Roseburg was abandoned more than 20 years ago and razed to the ground in 2019.

The north side, meanwhile, has Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, Sherms Thunderbird, Albertsons, and Costco. In addition, WinCo Foods has received its first permit to build a new supermarket on the site of the former Kmart, 2757 NW Stewart Parkway.

One San Francisco Safeway has moved all shopping carts into the store after 160 of them were allegedly stolen last month, Hoodline reports.

A number of customers were amazed when they arrived at the grocery store on 2020 Market Street before the holiday weekend, only to find that there were no carts available in the outside bay near the entrance.

“Zero shopping carts. It appears they have all been removed, including the cart shelves that were in front of the store, ”read a Google review for the store posted by resident Paul Johnson on July 2nd. “How the hell are you supposed to buy things like bottled water? , Canned sodas, beer, seltzer or wine in the same visit ?? I tried Potrero Street and Mission Street. also shops. Zero.”

Another complaint from Upper Market resident Scott S. said that when a clerk asked for a car, he said they had all been stolen.

“They had a shipment of 160 carts last week and they were all taken away,” he wrote on a Facebook group for the Duboce Triangle Neighborhood, according to Hoodline. “What good is security if you can’t prevent someone with a shopping cart from leaving the property?”

Wendy Gutshall, a spokeswoman for the grocery chain, confirmed that changing the availability of shopping carts was an attempt to combat rising theft in the store and that customers must seek help if they want an employee to help them get their groceries their car.

“As with other retailers, the disappearance of shopping carts is an ongoing challenge,” Gutshall told Hoodline. “We are still looking for solutions to address additional shopping carts and send them to the Castro Safeway Store.”

Other large stores in the area are taking further action. Last week, almost every San Francisco destination – with the exception of the Stonestown location – reduced their hours to 9am to 6pm “security incidents” experienced by other businesses like Walgreens and H&M.
