The ex-car order room with the end of line for the conveyor that used to serve the left-side cashiers. You can see that it turned into a storage room for junk and broken shopping carts.
Even I only used this transport interchange for maybe 1 or 2 times when I was a kid, the unique spatial arrangement of the complex still evolved from my memory when I re-visited and entered the fenced off, narrow queue of the terminus.

Construction started in 1983, with the multi-storey car park opened in April 1986. The Transport Complex connected to the pier with ferry services serving mainly between Tsuen Wan and Central. The Complex provides passage interchanges to the bus, van and taxi services directly from the pier. The building programmes also included government departments (e.g. Identical Card issue), and other retail booths & food stores. The building has however been disconnected to the central Tsuen Wan areas since the Tsuen Wan MTR service operated even before the completion of the building. The ferry service was closed in 2000 due to the more convenient use of road transport from Tsuen Wan to Central through the West Cross Harbour Tunnel, causing the Complex to be further under-used.
The use of individual staircase connecting to each of the bus stop termini was first used in this building - an unique machine-like design to avoid large loads of pedestrians to cross the bus platforms for safety reason.
The most interesting moment of the building was the establishment of a driving school on the 9th and 10th floors of the building since 1999.
Most of the bus routes using the Complex have relocated their termini to Tsuen Wan West Station Public Transport Interchange in 2003, and left a larger area of the building into disuse. Under the MTR Corporation's TW5 property development project, the carpark Complex is planned to be closed from 5 Feb 2013 and will be demolished and replaced by residential towers.

Making an assumption its all fish of some type.
"Monaca" is not pronounced like "Monica." Rather, the stress goes on the middle syllable, and it rhymes with "alpaca."
A "quickie" is a brief sex act.
We are expected to understand that there is only one Quickies Food Store here at this site, not multiple Quickes Food Stores, despite what the sign says.
Weirdly, the actual name of the business on its building is "Mamula's Mini Mart," and a Google or DDG search for "Quickies Food Stores" turns up zero exact matches as of July 2022.
My favorite part of the sign is the black plastic rectangle of the "FOOD STORES" portion.
Of the numerous businesses in the U.S. that sell refrigerated multipacks of hot dogs, most do not routinely advertise the price on roadside signs, nowadays.

I am quite certain that the meandering soffit dates to the A&P era of this store. May not date to 1963; I'm pretty sure this store was expanded slightly when a new facade was added circa 1970. Possibly the former produce department?
Also worth noting: older Archway cookie display and a second newer freezer case.

Nathan Toleman, who with his wife Sarah Foletta opened the former milkbar three years ago, said the couple would be handing over the reins at the end of the week to an unnamed buyer new to hospitality.

8611 South Pulaski Road. The animated neon pig sign to the left has undergone a recent restoration. Rosario's was going to close in 2012 but stayed open after so many complaints from loyal customers...
The neon portion of the sign was 16 feet long. The remainder was 34 feet long.
Rosario's closed for good on December 31, 2016
Here's a video of the sign in action. flic.kr/p/7gGieg
Update: The neon / plastic signage was removed from the building around February 2019. The Building is up For Sale. The pole mounted sign in the parking lot is still there.
This Co-op has followed the expected branding over recent years from Shell to Total and on to own brand here. In the early Streetview we see the store was branded as a Co-op Rainbow Foodstore which I have seen in a couple of other places but it's a name that has disappeared now. It's actually a very hard forecourt to photograph depending on where the sun is so I had to find some angles where it didn't interfere.

The lower of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. This is the point at which the 50m long straightaway section switched over to electric powered rollers on a curved section, that then brought the bins to another straightaway belt to transport them up to the car order room. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing or in 1995...the grocery chains were sadly shuttering them en-masse in the mid-1990s. I wonder if more of them would still be in use today were Steinberg's still around.
Back in the heyday of stores in Ontario & Quebec having a car order service, several of them had two conveyors - with one to send out customers' orders and the other to return empty bins back to the cash registers. This store was rather unique in that both belts were used to transport customers' orders out to the parcel pickup room, which was located in west corner of the store by the truck receiving doors. The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.

I saw this display of fruit in the lobby of the Green Star Co-op where I shop.
The lower of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. This is the point at which the 50m long straightaway section of belt started. It switched from electric powered rollers on a curved section, that then brought the bins from another straightaway belt that transported them up from the rollers at the right-side cash registers. One common trait amongst many original Dominion stores from the 1970s & early 80s (this store opened in 1981), was that the rollers in front of the cashiers were powered, meaning the cashiers didn't have to give the bins a push on manual rollers to get them started down the conveyor. The Dominion at St-Laurent in Ottawa was also like this, while the Dominion at Merivale (today a Farm Boy) was only rollers, where they were powered in the store then as bins entered the car order room there were unpowered rollers where gravity & momentum took over.

Don't know what store this was, originally. In fact, I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember any of what it's been for the 30 years I've lived here. Don't get over there that much.
Look at the impossibly small parking lot, as shown in this Bing.com view.

Gentlemen -- Are you having fun and thoroughly enjoying the tenth hour of your Solo Vegas Vacation? Good! So now, what do you think of your first close look at the fabulous and expansive Eataly Italian Marketplace & Food Hall? This massive Italian food court was still under construction last Spring when you and your very lovely lady were vacationing on the Las Vegas Strip. You and your very lovely lady really enjoyed staying here in 2015 and 2016 when it was the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino, so how well do you like this place now in 2019 as the Park MGM?

The service industry is an important employer in the city. The city centre is one of the main shopping areas, with the pedestrianised Cruises St being one of the main shopping streets and also the recently pedestrianised Bedford Row. New on the agenda is the proposed pedestranisation of O'Connell St up to Roches St near the Oriental Foodstore and a new look for William St, the heart of Limerick City. Each side of the city has outlying shopping areas. Crescent Shopping Centre is in Dooradoyle, not far from the city centre. It has over 90 shopping outlets along with restaurants and the 12-screen Omniplex Cinema. Regular bus services run from the city centre to the Crescent Shopping Centre. The Jetland Shopping Centre is in Caherdavin. It opened in 2005. Its main anchor is Dunnes Stores, with other shops and services including Golden Discs and Costa Coffee
The Milk Market located at Cornmarket Row in the city centre sells locally produced foods and products. The market is run by the Limerick Market Trustees and is one of the oldest markets run in the country. The market is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Saturday market acting as the flagship and most popular market day. In 2010 work was undertaken to redevelop the existing market premises to an all – weather, all year round market facility as the market operated in an outdoor environment. The work involved constructing a large canopy over the existing market premises and was officially re-opened in June 2010.

PLANS for a £26M revamp of the run-down Whitebirk Retail Park on the Hyndburn-Blackburn boundary have been revived.
Site owners Peel Holdings say the scheme could attract four top retailers - Next, Boots, Asda and Arcadia - and lead to the creation of around 500 jobs.
A similar scheme was turned down by Hyndburn Council's Planning Committee last year amid fears that it could lure shoppers away from Accrington town centre.
But now Peel Holdings is ready to try again and has resubmitted a planning application to "radically improve and refurbish" the retail park.
The plan would transform its layout and appearance but not increase the overall size. It would include the removal of overhead electricity pylons, high-quality landscaping and improved vehicle access.
And negotiations have already begun to set up a bus link with Accrington town centre in the hope of encouraging shoppers to spend money at both destinations.
But planning approval is needed for the partial removal of the "bulky goods" restriction on the site, which would allow new stores to operate alongside existing retailers such as MFI and Currys.
Gareth Finch, property manager at Peel Holdings, said: "This is an exciting opportunity to bring investment, jobs and improved shopping choice to Hyndburn.
Accrington Observer 090306
DEVELOPER Peel Group have been accused of a new bid to change its Whitebirk retail park near Rishton into a general out-of-town shopping centre 'through the back door'.
In August 2014 Britain's top judges threw out a legal attempt by the firm to change it into a £16 million shopping complex with food and fashion retailers.
The UK Supreme Court decision ended a ten-year battle with Hyndburn and Blackburn with Darwen Councils and local retailers.
The Whitebirk site currently only has planning permission to sell bulky, home improvement and electrical goods.
Now Peel has submitted a new planning application to Hyndburn Council to build an discount foodstore there.
Preliminary advice from borough planning officials suggests approval.
Blackburn with Darwen Council, The Mall Blackburn’s owners Capital and Regional, and Hyndburn Chamber of Trade have all objected to the new proposal.

The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic. It is from its name in Italian ("ghetto"), that the English word "ghetto" is derived: in the Venetian language it was named "ghèto". The Venetian Ghetto (incidentally, the first Ghetto) was instituted in 1516, though political restrictions on Jewish rights and residences existed before that date.
Though it was home to a large number of Jews, the population living in the Venetian Ghetto never assimilated to form a distinct, "Venetian Jewish" ethnicity. Four of the five synagogues were clearly divided according to ethnic identity: separate synagogues existed for the German (the Scuola Grande Tedesca), Italian (the Scuola Italiana), Spanish and Portuguese (the Scuola Spagnola), and Levantine Sephardi communities (The Scola Levantina). The fifth, the Scuola Canton, is believed to have been either French, or a private synagogue for the families who funded its construction. Today, there are also populations of Ashkenazic Jews in Venice, mainly Lubavitchers who operate one of two kosher foodstores, a yeshiva, and the aforementioned Chabad synagogue.
In September 1938, the promulgation of the fascist racial laws deprived the Jews of civil rights, and the Jewish community entered a difficult period under the leadership first of Aldo Finzi and subsequently (from June 1940 onwards) of Professor Giuseppe Jona.
In September 1943, Italy changed from being an ally of Nazi Germany into an occupied country, and the Nazis started a systematic hunt for Jews in Venice as in other Italian cities. On 17 September, Professor Jona committed suicide rather than hand over to the German authorities a list of Jewish community residents.
In November 1943, Jews were declared 'enemy aliens' in accordance with the manifesto of the Italian Social Republic, to be arrested and their property seized. Although some Jews managed to escape to neutral Switzerland or Allied-occupied southern Italy, over two hundred were rounded up, most between 5 December 1943 (when approximately 150 were arrested) and late summer 1944. They were held at the city's Marco Foscarini college, the women's prison on Giudecca, the prison at Santa Maria Maggiore and subsequently at Fossoli concentration camp, before being deported, in most cases, to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. Those arrested later in 1944 included some 20 residents of a Jewish convalescence home, the Casa di Ricovero Israelitica (including Venice's Chief Rabbi, Adolfo Ottolenghi, who chose to follow the fate of his fellow deportees) and 29 from a Jewish hospital. Most of those arrested in the summer of 1944 spent time incarcerated at Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp, Trieste. Although a figure of two hundred and five Jewish deportees from Venice between November 1943 and August 1944 is often quoted, one source give the higher figure of 246, which includes those deported to Trieste, some of whom died there, and a smaller number of arrests after this point up until the end of the war. Only 8 Jewish residents of Venice emerged from the death camps. The 1938 Jewish population of Venice (2000) was reduced by the war's end to 1500, or in some sources 1050.
What was Europe's first ghetto is now a lively and popular district of the city where the religious and administrative institutions of the Jewish Community and its five synagogues still persist.
Today, the Ghetto is still a center of Jewish life in the city. The Jewish Community of Venice, that counts 500 people, is of such cultural vitality that it is often a centre for the cultural life of the entire city.
