This looks incredibly like the gas station/market that was a block away from my grandparents' house (circa 1962-70, only the gas pumps were more "modern")...and what is weird is that they lived only about 15 miles east of downtown San Diego (in Spring Valley...which ironically is where the current Heisman Trophy winner, Reggie Bush is from).
Amazing how quickly the "suburbs" grew from what we now consider "megalopolises"; they weren't all that "big city" 40 years ago.
