I found these two photos in a section
of my external hard drive that I normally don't file photo images
in the other day. I was surprised and pleased to find them.
I remembered receiving them once I saw them and then checked if I ever
posted them. It seems I didn't ever post them as photo of the
week. My daughter has sent them to me in August 2015 which she found
posted on a social media site. They are great photos of what our old
Balboa Commissary grocery loading area looks like today. I look at
these photos and get really sentimental and homesick for our past Zonian
lives. I remember the ramp so well when shopping for
groceries. Remember the army of package guys / bag boys that would
pack up your groceries in the old brown paper bags (no plastic back
then) as we checked out, load them on their two level shelved dolly and
wheel them out to this loading area. You would go and get your car
and pull up under the overhang (which was really nice when it was
raining) and the package guy / bag boy would load the bags in your
car. You would tip him and thank him. Most of the guys were
known by name as they had been there for many years. Wow..I wonder
how many tons of groceries rolled down the ramp all those years.
The place looks exactly the same. Apparently ACP is using the old
commissary building now.
What a great blast from the
past and thank you to whoever took and posted these photos on social
media.
