Without Googling, see if you can guess where this was in Richmond and which decade, maybe even the year? City of Richmond Archives, Photograph #2008 39 2 133

Did you guess correctly?

It was, of course, Westminster Highway, looking east from Minoru Boulevard.

According to the City of Richmond archives, the photo was taken some time in 1975.

It shows the Safeway supermarket at the time, boasting that it had an “in-house bakery” and had free parking.
