Middle actionway

As cool as this building's design is, this photo accentuates its major issue compared with designs such as Safeway's Marina or various grocery chains' gabled-roof designs -- it just doesn't feel all that special inside, because it still has a fairly low ceiling. Admittedly, this store has been heavily modified from its original state, and the additional windows all around the perimeter would very likely have improved the look, but I still prefer the higher-ceiling designs from Tradewell's competitors. 

This is about the point that I realized I was the only non-employee in the whole store (yeah, again, I really don't know how it's still in business), which is pretty much my worst nightmare scenario for store photography... thankfully it turned out fine in the end, as I didn't run into any employees either while I was here (yikes, especially in a neighborhood where it seems likely that theft is high), and by the time I got to the front end, someone had come in and was keeping the cashier busy. That's probably why some of these pictures didn't turn out perfectly -- I was trying to be extra stealthy with my pictures.
