MISSION BAY MARKET opened at 4135 Mission Blvd. during the first weekend of June 1950, when this photo was taken. The building, next to the Mission Bay Motel, was designed by A. P. Nippel and built by Vern Taylor. The market served the community for nearly 60 years until it was razed to make way for a mixed-use development. On Saturdays, large crowds now gather across from the site to do their shopping at the Promenade Farmers’ Market.
