Former S.S. Kresge Store, Quincy, MA

1445 Hancock St, Quincy, MA 02169

Before Family Dollar (which apparently has since closed) was here, an S.S. Kresge variety store operated out of the building

After looking at the front of the building, I eventually started to wonder something... If this store is in the middle of the city... how would the truck make deliveries to the store?

Well apparently, behind the store is not only a decently sized parking lot (for the city), but an actual loading dock...

...with an old Kresge's labelscar!

    Excellent find! Google sightseeing often yields interesting results.

    Also, next time you use Street View imagery, you don't need to say "I take zero credit for any of these photos". Just cite your source and move on. Makes you look amateurish otherwise.
