Welcome to the Hawthorne (Portland) Fred Meyer!

Yep, it's time for another Fred Meyer. I feel like I've been posting too many Fred Meyer pictures lately, and also too many 2021 pictures (like this set), but this is a super interesting store in multiple ways, so I couldn't resist. 

This store was built in the 50s or 60s (it's hard to tell from aerial images), expanded in the late 00s, and remodeled in 2019. Its age and the fact that it's located in a moderately urban environment are surely responsible for some of its strangeness, but not the most interesting part, which we'll get back to later.
