Re: A&W on Blackstone
I remember the Clovis A&W on the N/E corner of Clovis Ave, and 5th St. I don't remember the closing date, but in 1975, I went to Clark Jr. High and don't remember it being open then.
Re: A&W on Blackstone
Was the Blackstone A&W previously a "Norm's Drive In"? This is going waayyyy back.

Re: A&W on Blackstone
Don't think so. Norm's started in the Mayfair shopping center and then moved to the SW corner of Blackstone and Shaw, just north of the old Clawson Boats/Honda dealership...
Re: A&W on Blackstone
Norm Christensen (RIP) initially struggled but eventually did just OK with his Norm's Drive-ins. Then he bought Clausen's Boats and shortly thereafter got the Honda Motorcycle franchise at Clausen's. That was a home run for Norm, but then he got the Honda car franchise, as well! After that he was pretty well set. He then bought a cattle ranch and the marina rights at Millerton, the marina rights at Folsom Lake near Sacramento, and a 105K acre cattle ranch in eastern Oregon. My brother married into the Christensen family and I always thought Norm -- with his entrepreneurial spirit -- and his sibs were an interesting bunch.
