As you may know, recently this store used to have two self checkout stations, one on each side of the regular checkouts, and recently they put them together on the left side. Well now, they are adding a new THIRD self checkout on the right side of the checkouts, giving this store a total of 21 self checkout lanes. 18 up front, and 3 in front of the cafe. Taking after Southaven Walmart I see.
This store was opened as a Kmart prototype in 1992. In 2000 Kmart built a 50,000 square foot expansion onto the back of the store and converted it to a Super Kmart. This store is currently the only conversion of a early 1990s build Kmart to a Supercenter that is still intact. This is also the only Super Kmart currently at a mall, in fact the Super Kmart in Caguas, Puerto Rico should have been the only other mall location ever.

The register lights here are quite nice, and more than a bit reminiscent of the Safeway Brown Decor ones.
In the background is the liquor store, which was presumably something else (maybe the movie rental department?) when the store first opened, since hard liquor could not be sold in grocery stores until 2012. Whatever it once was, they did a nice job of adding/modifying the sign such that it matches the rest of the decor.
I wouldn't even know how to describe this book, I really liked the mood it evoked. It reminds me a bit of a book I read by Gertrude Stein many years ago for it's use of repetition.
I'm not sure why I took this picture, but here are the checkout counters, with their Fresh Fare-style register lights.

SET 3 – HLT Remodel: 8-18-2023
One final interior shot for this visit, this one looking once more at the checklanes and, more generally, overall at the drastically overhauled front end of the store. Notice the singular entrance and snaking line of the self-checkout queue, as opposed to some other chains which have different setups. Those setups change over time, too, such as the Hernando Walmart which now has individual register banks for self-checkout as opposed to the open area with single queue as it did before. Retailers always seem to be tinkering with that anymore…

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 :)
“Final systems checkout for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Lunar Module (LM-6) are conducted in the Open Bay Area of the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building (MSOB). The LM-6 will be flown on the first lunar landing mission, Apollo 11. The Flight Crew is Neil A. Armstrong, commander, Michael Collins, command module pilot, and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., Lunar Module Pilot.”
The caption/description of this and the linked photos incorrectly refer to this Lunar Module as LM-6.
Note the absence of plume deflectors to the descent stage, which were a 'last minute' addition as a result of the thermal damage observed by the Astronauts during Apollo 9 & Apollo 10.
Although there appears to be no (available) precisely documented date of the installation, the following excellent discussion, specifically the post by "moonguyron", indicates it was after this "final systems checkout":

This Safeway had rather old-fashioned registers, with turntables instead of conveyors. I would consider this "Albertsons-style", but I think that older Safeways generally had these before the Lifestyle remodels. It's interesting that they bothered to re-laminate them into the Lifestyle color scheme.
In the background is the (unsigned) customer service department, with the tiny Seahawks section to the right along the office wall and liquor beyond.

This past Sunday, Betty and I made a dreaded trip to Costco. We had heard that, earlier in the week, lines had stretched around the building and that shopping had been frenzied. When we arrived around 12:30 we found only around 30-40 cars in the lot. Only 2 people were ahead of us in line and, once inside, things were strangely quiet. Some sections of the store were devoid of life. Everything was in good supply except for toilet paper. There was no waiting at any of the checkout counters All in all an unexpected outcome
Three checkout lanes are for the mall exit. I found it interesting that the mall entrance/exit leads right into the food area.
Inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay at Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s iconic “worm” logo and European Space Agency (ESA) logo have been added to the aft wall of Orion’s crew module adapter ahead of NASA’s Artemis I mission. Originally created by the firm of Danne & Blackburn, the “worm” logo’s bold, sleek design was officially introduced in 1975 and was incorporated into many of the agency’s next-generation programs. It was retired in 1992, but has made a comeback in 2020 as the agency ushers in a new, modern era of human spaceflight. The Orion spacecraft is being prepared for installation of the solar array wings on Sept. 23, 2020. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will test the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System as an integrated system ahead of crewed flights to the Moon. Under the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and the next man on the Moon by 2024.
Note that this store has the checkout registers all next together like this. This is much safer than the older stores' arrangement of a courtesy-desk like set up.

D23 Expo Exclusive Mulan and Li Shang Designer Doll Set, #451 of 523.
Today was the third and last day of the 2017 D23 Expo. I got to the Anaheim Convention Center today at about 6:45 am, and got to the shopping line in the second floor of Hall A at 7 am. Then the line started moving at about 9:15 am, and I got to the end of the Disney Store line at 9:30. The CM said the estimated wait time was 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The line moved much more quickly than on Friday or Saturday, probably because their was very few high demand items left to purchase. I actually got into the store at 10:24, in less than an hour.
I started to browse the store, to see what they had left. There were no more LE dolls to be had. However, there were still plenty of Designer Collection lithograph, pin and ornament sets on the shelves. I got a spare Designer Lithograph set. The only Designer mug left was for 101 Dalmations. There was also LE pin sets for Minnie Mouse and Art of Snow White in stock. I decided to get one each of the Designer bags and purses (for TLM, Tangled and 101 Dalmations) because they were so pretty, even though I would never use them. They had an LE 300 wooden Anna and Elsa figure set, but I passed on them since they weren't that impressive, and were $60. I got a Rey/Kylo Ren LE action figure set. I got #82 of 1000. I took more photos of the August 1 releases of Rags Snow White and the Prince. I also took a couple of closeups of the Platinum Snow White. At checkout, I got the PWP Snow White and Tsum Tsum Mary Poppins pins (LE 3000, $5 each). I checked out my goods at around 11 am.
Then I took some photos of the women's gowns made for Disney live action films. The exhibit was entitled Fantastical Fashions, presented by Walt Disney Archives. There were six costumes on display, three of heroines on one side of the stage (Giselle, Belle and Cinderella), and three villains on the other side (Red Queen, Maleficent and Cruella De Vil). I was glad that they weren't behind glass, so I could take decent photos of them without glare and reflections.
Next I saw the Star Wars Land exhibit, at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts booth. It was entitled Galaxy of Stories, and the new land in DLR and WDW is to be called Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The centerpiece of the exhibit was a scale model of the new land. It was hard to take clean photos of the model because of all the people trying to do the same thing.
While I was in line for the Star Wars Land exhibit, a local collector friend of mine met me. He sold me his spare D23 Mulan doll set for a great price, that I had missed getting on Friday. I got #451 of 523. I took a few photos of the set. Because of the orange colored carpet, the photos have an orange tint to them, especially on the reflective surfaces.
After that I browsed some smaller merchandise booths. First was Besame Cosmetics, which showcased their new Disney Snow White: The 1937 Collection. The color palette used for the cosmetics line was based on the actual paint colors used in the original animation cels. The packaging and artwork also reflected the style of the original animation. They gave out a free old style newspaper tabloid sheet promoting the collection.
Next was the Thomas Kinkade Studios. They had lots of their Disney artwork for sale. Also they had two enormous framed reproductions displayed on the side of their booth. One was of Cinderella, the other was of Beauty and the Beast.
Then I met up with another collector friend of mine. I bought the Designer Blue Fairy doll set from him for a great price, that I had missed out of getting on Friday, and some other items.
I left with a big haul of merchandise, which I will post photos of shortly. I had a very successful Expo, obtaining everything I wanted, without having to resort to eBay.
The eBay Express checkout form uses a thin rule to separate meaningful content sections. Just the minimum amount is needed to make a clear distinction.

The Safeway in Baltimore. the day before Christmas. Strange that of all the places that made me feel at home, it was the supermarket. I guess they are all the same, so walking in, I thought I was not back east visiting the in-laws.
For 20 minutes, I was walking the isles, not even needing anything, other than a bottle of water.
At the checkout counter, I turned to my right, and saw the two checkout girls talking to each other, ignoring the lemmings in line with last minute turkeys and easy bake bread. Priceless.
