Despite the redone facade, this store still retains a lot of its Marina charm on the inside. Most of the remaining modified Marina stores are ones that got a major expansion at some point, making them seem mostly like a normal Safeway with a random barrel vault bit in the middle, but this store doesn't seem to have had any significant expansions over its 60-year lifespan. And even more unusually, the new facade kept windows running all the way across the front end, meaning it still has lots of natural light (though Safeway has installed displays and liquor lockers covering a large chunk of the windows).
