Imperial 400 Motel located at 1231 South Nevada Ave. in Colorado Springs,CO. The boomerang lobby is still standing (although its painted a bland white) despite becoming a Howard Johnson Express. Dont be fooled the Howard Johnson motels are not the same as Howard Johnsons Restaurants and Motor Lodges.

Safeway store located at 310 West Lake St. in Mount Shasta,CA. The building became a Payless Drug Store in the early 1980's and is now occupied by a Rite Aid. Safeway closed this store around 1981 as a new, larger location was constructed across the street. The replacement Safeway was very short-lived lasting no more than one year as Safeway exited the towns north of Redding. Rays Market Place made their entry into Northern California when they acquired the stores vacated by Safeway. This store became a Payless Drug Store after Safeway moved across the street. Payless made very minor modifications to the interior of the store with the outside literally untouched aside from the new PAYLESS spelled out where the SAFEWAY name was. Rite Aid now occupies the building and although the interior has been renovated with new Rite Aid signs the building altogether is still in very good shape architecturally speaking.
Note this Safeway store opened for business in May 1966.
