I enjoyed yesterday’s mentions of Ralph’s supermarkets. I tended to like them, both old and new, and I had a couple of favorites for odd and sundry reasons.
But LA supermarkets were generally interesting places. Two Hughes Markets loomed large in my first years there, followed by a Ralph’s and a Smith’s Food King. Oddly, I can’t remember where I shopped when living in Palms... I sort of recall a Von’s... then moving to the South Bay, it was a Lucky and another Ralph’s, and at that time, Trader Joe’s also entered my life.
In West Hollywood it was a two-block walk to the Mayfair which was great. And at some point I learned of the Ralph’s on Sunset that was THE place to stop in for something late at night, for the people watching. Later a new Ralph’s something like what BK describes opened a block or two from the Beverly Center, and I do remember being at first put off by the newfangled complexity of getting in and out, but I ended up liking it.
