I haven’t been in here since the mid seventies but I’m going to give it five stars anyways, just for longevity. My great grandmother owned a house just of Clark and Clay. My brother and I bought them longneck glass soda pop bottles in that store. Boy did they taste good in the hot Fresno sun. I remember sitting on the porch and hearing of Elvis Presley’s death. They old couple across the street hand made a raggedy Ann and Andy doll set for me. They were beautiful. Just a block or two up Clark lived a lady with a son killed in Vietnam during the war. We’re both in our early 50s now. My brother and I. Time passes so fast! Her house still sits there and looks ok but maybe not so well loved. The store that sat next to it still sits on the corner. It looks like apartments. Better than being empty like it was from the seventies until the nineties (my time and grandmas. She told me it hadn’t been open since the sixties. Lewis probably belonged to another owner back then but it’s nice to see this little store serving this neighborhood. These neighborhood stores are hard to find in California but are a wonderful thing! My grandmother drove a taxi cab in NYC during WW2 and saved money to buy her house there. Memories!
