TC, check this out - it appears there was a Safeway. The doc with 1986 is about something else, not this particular store that Ffffford is referencing.
Here are some posts from the TC thread about the Safeway:

The Safeway thing came from Mark Judge’s book (and also Ford’s testimony). Plus Margot Cleveland (post right before yours) said that she confirmed the Safeway had 2 doors in 1982. Maybe same place, different name/owner? I’d really love for this to be right

Yeah
There was a Safeway grocery store there in 1982. Let me go back and find the building inspection report I saw yesterday (it was used to verify that there were two doors at that store in 1982). Safeway was taken private in 1986 after being bought by KKR.

FROM MARGO CLEVELAND THREAD:
16/ by 4 boys. Ford says: 15 by 1 boy & 1 bystander. Apparently, that’s close enough for government work, when you’re a Democrat! But no one is really focusing on this disparate but instead asking if Safeway had one or two doors in 1982! (It had 2-I’ve confirmed w/ sources).

Who is Margo Cleveland?
Margot Cleveland is a senior contributor to The Federalist. She is also a contributor to National Review Online, the Washington Examiner, Aleteia, and Townhall.com, and has been published in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Cleveland is a lawyer and a graduate of the Notre Dame Law School, where she earned the Hoynes Prize—the law school’s highest honor. She later served for nearly 25 years as a permanent law clerk for a federal appellate judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Cleveland is a former full-time faculty member and current adjunct professor for the college of business at the University of Notre Dame, where she received several teaching awards. As a stay-at-home homeschooling mom of a young son with cystic fibrosis, Cleveland frequently writes on cultural issues related to parenting and special-needs children.
“But in her Senate testimony she said the polygraph took hours and they asked her all kinds of questions.”
Probably took that much time for her to get a “pass” on both questions in the same set.
Nice find.

Wouldn’t the death and funeral of her grandmother render the test useless?
Nobody asked her what meds she was on then or the day of the hearing.
We need to see her full therapy notes.
thanks, it’s the ability of FReepers to separate the wheat from the chaff that makes this a great site.

Yes. Someone found the ad for the store from 1982 in this thread.
Moving on to discuss if Ford could have concocted her story based on
mike Judge’s book and Kavanaugh’s yearbook.
River Falls’ first family moved into their Stable Lane home in May 1968, paying a sales price of $75,500. Many original purchasers were government professionals, lawyers, and employees of IBM, which had several offices in the Washington area. Early residents recall a feeling of isolation, with driving a necessity for shopping, entertainment, and to find friends for their young children. Residents trekked ‘downtown’ (Washington’s shopping corridor along ‘F’ Street) for clothing and other necessities at the department stores of the day – Woodward & Lothrop, Hecht’s, and Garfinkles. (The mammoth Tysons Corner Shopping Center would open in 1968 as well – radically changing the shopping landscape.) ‘The Village, – long known as the local shopping destination for Potomac dwellers, and located at the intersection of River & Falls Roads, was certainly functioning in the 1960’s, but with fewer choices than we know today. The District Grocery Store (‘DGS’) occupied the building where the Hunter’s Inn and Chico’s are now located; the Safeway would open its doors in 1968. A drug store and longtime favorite, The Surrey, were available, as well as the whimsically named ‘Happy Pickle Restaurant & Bar’ occupying the large corner house which sits on the southwest corner of the River and Falls Roads intersection (a building now occupied by the W.C. & A.N. Miller Co.).
Yes.
In her testimony Ford said it’d be good for the FBI tonincesrogate ans dons out when Judge worked at the store as that’d confirm when she saw him after the attack.
Problem is if she’s got Mike Judge’s book and used it to create this story it matches for that reason.
Okay. Thanks.
4chan and The_donald ran with this. Now we know.
See other posts above n
Safeway must be wrong.
Someone should tell the FBI, never assume the will include this fact in the report. They really can’t be trusted
Thanks, kristinn.
Internet sleuthing is a mixed bag. Not blaming you for posting it.
Here’s another source saying they were in Maryland at that time.

“My sister and I were talking after the hearing last week and speculated that Ford might have like either Kavenaugh or Judge and fantasized the whole event, only to get it rehashed in “recovered memories” as something real.”
You may be correct. She “DREAMED” it.
I can’t remember if they normally ask about meds or drugs or alcohol, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did.
