"The Ridge"

The machines have taken over this world, and humans are all but extinct, but this is not the end. Men are in short supply, women are now leading most factions, hidden societies are spread thin all throughout the world, and the Android's are now developing cyborgs to infiltrate them, but the humans have a plan. Man kind has gathered all that remains from all the military powers around the world. They are making their last stand in the last remaining base known as the Ridge. Elevated 3.4 miles high, it is the humans' most fortified base, equipped with: ball turrets pointing vertically and artillery guns pointing horizontally on the cliff side, SAMs and AA guns surrounding the base, tesla-coil towers on each corner, beam cannons next to the hill side entrance of the base, and pill boxes guarding that same entrance. This is the only base that has stopped every attack the enemy has thrown at it, but now the Ridge has the Android army's undivided attention. Although this is their last stand, all hope is not lost. The humans have found a weakness in the Android's forces, a weakness that will turn the tide in this war. Two outfits are being assembled at this moment.

Newly built, clean store with helpful employees and carries basically any type of groceries that one could want or need to buy. Very much recommend to anyone who is looking for a fast easy shopping experience in a clean store with helpful employees/ cashier's.

Some stores act like it's an inconvenience for the employees to do their job and put in the extra effort to make the customer happy or satisfied, but not this Safeway. It was the norm. The restrooms were clean and not discussing, with no wait line. Safeway normally have their stores Squared away but this one went the extra mile to improve the customer experience in many ways and they get a 5 ⭐ rating from me for it. 100% would recommend this location for anyone looking for a smooth and easy...

This shopping center is very well planned out. There is a 2 story Safeway with rooftop parking (Highly recommend this) and a great selection of foods, with organic options and a bulk nuts\seeds\mix area. There's a Starbucks in the store, which is funny because there's a Starbucks store on the other side of the center too. I wonder if they could fit another Starbucks inside the Petfood Express?? A number of other food options like pizza, Boston Market and a few restaurants make this a nice relatively local shopping center. There are now several entrances\exits which make traffic more manageable. It replaced an older Safeway and Longs drugs located at the which had an amazing garden center. That's missed. This is a semi-historical location, being based on the Bilger Quarry which operated...
