Floor Stripe Rounds the Corner
WEEK 31 – Stateline Kroger (II)
For what I believe is our final instance of recognizing and appreciating old floor patterns in this year’s photoset from the Stateline Kroger, here’s a close-up of that perimeter hugging stripe as it rounds the back left corner of the building. It looks kinda goofy here, since the refrigerated cases in the corner itself form a distinctly angular shape. But if you flip back three pics, you’ll see that the curve of the floor stripe follows exactly the curve of the rounded overhang, so it makes for a pretty cohesive appearance!
The stripe is rather faded these days, but back when the store opened, it would have been red in color. It’s also liable to survive remodels even where those other flooring patterns we’ve seen in this album are not, as we saw at the Clarksdale Kroger (although the stripe was black in color at that store, and also not rounded, indicating perhaps that store had a different décor package than Bauhaus back when it opened). We’ve also seen it at former Krogers – see here.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
