Reading, reading, reading...I came across this beautiful picture of the Sunfax Market where I worked in the mid-late '50's! Oh my goodness, what a rush to see it. Long post when I finally get to the end of the thread in maybe three or four more days. Gosh the Sunfax! It really was a kind of pretty building, of course we couldn't see it then.
