This oddly enough resembles a lot of the places where I'm at (Stamford CT). The unifying factor I guess is being an old well-established satellite city of a larger metro.
I went to that Safeway a year ago or so, and I felt oddly nostalgic. The signage inside was exactly the same as it was twenty years ago, so I was strongly reminded of going to the store with my mom.
When we lived in the area 20 years ago, we had a friend who called this the "dirty Safeway." It never seemed dirty to me, so I suspect it was because of some inside joke of the sort of murky origins that have led us to talk about a store called "Bed Bath and Divorce."
