Liquor store ... has that side drive up parallel with Prospect street for quick beer runs.... still is a liquor store today.... least it was last year......I bought many a 6 pack of Coors Beer there in my youth.......... Check those Eucalyptus trees and Orange grove trees and open space..... Orange was a nice town in the 60s before developers destroyed everything and the crowds of easterners moved to Calif and destroyed the place

My family moved away in 1970 - I was only seven . I still remember Orange the way it was and miss it.

Car - related, this place was along my route to/from school. I used to wander thru and pester the mechanics by telling them what I knew about cars.
