I was born in the Mission, I remember it well in the late 70′s as a kid, when my mom used to shop at Giant Value right next door. This image shows the 99¢ store that moved in years later after the theatre had closed.

It used to look really nice at night.

Fertilization of the human egg
The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
The construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza

The New Amazing:
A photo of a .99 store
Your waitress
My sock

It was before my time and I always wondered.
