    This is the backside of my grandparent's (The McFarlands) grocery store which they owned from approx 1955 - 1975. It was located at 1137 El Camino Real between Santa Cruz Ave and Oak Grove Ave. My grandfather was the store butcher and was nicknamed "Mac The Knife". My dad worked in the grocery store when he was a teenager. My grandparents also owned the launderette next door for about a year.

    Alec’s! Loved that building as a kid. The ramp was filled with flowers. But that was after when Alec’s was no more and it was Payless Drug.
