When it opened on Jan. 25, 1951, Food Basket, on the northwest corner of Mission Boulevard and Garnet Avenue, was touted as the “largest supermarket in San Diego County,” built at a cost of $500,000. When it closed 10 years after this photo was taken in 1986, it had become Lucky Market and was deemed too small by the chain that owned it. Fatburger dominates the same corner today. — John Fry es un “casi” nativo de San Diego que se mudó a Mission Beach en 1967 después de graduarse de San Diego State, luego a Pacific Beach en 1970.
