Not a bad design - about what I expected.

As for Safeway in NW Austin, there were 3 along 183 back in the 70s and 80s

- Spicewood Springs at 183: Opened in the mid-70s. Currently a Big Lots
- Balcones Woods at 183: Spicewood store moved to this location in the early 80s. Now a Petsmart and Party City (and an Academy before that)
- 183 and 620 - Opened in the mid-80s, became an Apple Tree and later a Michael's. Now a Mega Furniture (Northfork shopping center).

Another factoid - There was a Kroger on Burnet Road (north of Anderson Lane) in the 70s. The building later became a Ross and Showbiz Pizza/Chuck E Cheese. Now a Subaru dealership. I believe there was another Kroger at Ben White and S 1st. Before my time, but interesting nonetheless.

But I digress. Back to the Huston...
