Re: Zody's
Thanks Lucky Saver: The three stores that weave through my early childhood memories are Zody's, White Front, and Crawford's. A grocery store I recall was Vonn's. I know that at one time they featured, "Let's Go to the Races" game. The concept was that customers would be given cards with ho...

Re: White Front Stores
Thanks anyway Jeff. My recollection of White Front would be something similiar to K-Mart or Wal Mart at a time when stores such as these did not exist. I think that was the "thrill" or "adventure" of going to this store--everything under one roof. A little bit like Crawford, but ...

Re: White Front Stores
I spent my early childhood in El Monte, CA from 1954 to 1966. I remember going to a White Front, but I am not sure exactly where. The store seemed about a 20-minute drive from my house, which was on E. Ranchito, close to both Norwood Elementary School and (then) Durfee Middle School. I have not live...

Re: White Front Stores

I am not sure exactly where the store was located, but it seemed to be around 20 minutes from my house (on E. Ranchito near Norwood Elementary School). I lef...
