Posted by Westside trucker, a resident of the Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park neighborhood, on Oct 11, 2011 at 1:47 pm The Marianis ran a hardwood store near 29th and Mission Street in San Francisco up to WW2. It had wooden floors and you could buy anything from a nut and bolt, to a belt for your Singer Sewing machine or a Model A Ford. If you had a cow, you could get a bale of hay.
