Gypsy Jan,
didn't know about the XXX Pussycat Theater. Just the Rendezvous Ball Room because my older cousin used to take me there with him and his friends. It was great as Dick Dale and the Dell Tones were always playing there. Alot of energy in the air as it seemed like there were over a 1,000 crazed happy people doing the surfer's stomp. I think that I was about 12.

THRIFTY -DAIRY QUEEN? HOW ABOUT SAV-ON DRUGS?

Wasn't Sav on, Thrifty?


Sav on began life as a hardware store owned and operated by Asa Call. After WW11, his two sons, Bob and Bill, returned and slowly converted the hardware store into a drug store.

A huge draw was the very large and very tasty 5 cent Ice Cream cone. At 5 cents it was a loss leader but drew people into the store.

As I recall they sold Sav on to Jewel tea, who inturn was absorbed by a still larger company and their names disappeared into distant memories.

I knew and dove with Bob and his son Greg, but that was in the 1960s when Sav on was THE DRUG STORE for ice cream cones. I suspect Bob & Bill are now dishing ice cream in the big Ice cream parlor in the sky.
