*** 97 Supermarket has closed
Over the last 14 months or so, I've collected quite a few photos. Most of them end up in the recycle bin, since I do "goof-up" alot. I try to be organized, but sometimes I find a collection of photos that leave me scratching my head. As in where the heck was this???? This is such a collection. I did find out which market it was; I had put the "street shot" in another folder, and it was left languishing.
So, I guess it's better late then never. But here's the deal; first 5 Emails I receive that guess the correct Market, I'll send you a cup of Peet's on me. The reason I chose Peet's, is because I can Email Peet's certificates.
Let's start the clues…..
1 – This is a Southeast Asian Supermarket, you know right away, since they stock everything from Betel Leaves:
To Boba:
2 – This San Diego Supermarket, has quite an interesting collection, some looking quite old:
And items that are quite new…at least to me.
3 – As with this type of market, there is the requisite Meat and Fish department. Though it is quite small.
4 – If you've ever been in this market, the produce department is a dead giveaway:
I think I've provided enough clues. But here are a few more photos…..
There is some interesting stuff here.
The Missus always tells me, that after a while, all of these markets look the same.
But I'm willing to bet that there at least 5 of you, who can figure this market out in no time flat.
And you will be much smarter than I, since it took me about 15 minutes to remember where the heck this was.
And though this market, was a bit worse for wear. It was still fun for me! And I'll drink to that, though probably not with Palm Juice.
Once I have enough guesses, I'll reveal the Market. One correct guess per IP address, please have a valid Email address.
Hope you enjoyed this little Mid Week quiz!
Thursday morning update – I probably made this too hard. Though I think if you ever set foot in this market you'd recognize the produce department. So here's some clues, that I've included in the response to comments:
– It's not any of the Viet Dong Markets, nor World Foods.
– It is not on El Cajon Boulevard.
Again, comment away – though I'd rather have email guesses – but since you all like to share….
Thursday noon update – Sheesh…… More clues. Let's see…..
– It is not on Mira Mesa Boulevard.
– It is not in the South Bay area.
– I haven't done a post on this market
– And this should clinch it. If you look real carefully at the photo of the seafood bin – you'll notice part of the market logo….just a small part, but if you've ever walked or driven pass this market you should know it. And possibly made fun of the name…..
My apologies…I must totally suck at giving out clues. Nobody figured it out! I'm totally devistated. The answer is:
97 Super Market
4679 University Ave
San Diego, CA 92105
I know, I'm terrible at giving out clues…..but tell me, would you want me to do this again? If I made it easier????
