1. Safeway Marker
Montrose has been home to many markets over the years, most of them small, mom and pop type stores. One of the first chain store markets here was a Safeway at this location. Compared to the tiny square footage of sites like this, it's no wonder that larger markets were called "super" when they first appeared.
Erected by Montrose Shopping Park Association, Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley, and Boy Scout Troop 317.
