The other day someone mentioned to me that when she was a little girl she enjoyed going to Tennison’s Store in California with her folks. She said her dad would have a beer and she had ice cream, candy and a soda pop. As a result, she loved going to Tennison’s.
I found the following info on Tennison’s Store which was located at the corner of Rt. 5 and Esperanza School Road where the Chipotle currently sits. A 1981 Enterprise article (click here) talks to Tennison’s getting a facelift shown in some of the photos below.

The irony is, with the exception of Dent’s, the rest of us are more Bars than we are Gro’s. But the bottom line is that, we are all still here and hopefully, Chipotle’s isn’t eyeing any of us for expansion.
Speaking of “jokative peope” as did Mr. Sterling in describing his customers, Cheech and Chong are having a bit of a comeback with the 40th anniversary of their classic movie Up in Smoke. Little trivia quiz for you – can you name Cheech and Chong’s full names? Hint – Cheech is a first name and Chong is a last name.
