My brother and I spent a lot of time in that store in the 60's.  We knew it as Drury's.  Pop Drury lived just below us on Lark across the street from the Tanner's place.

I started coming up here in 1965, I remember the name Drury, but I have a better memory of Smith's Market, and there was also another market there either before or after Smith's.  Can't remember that name.  You probably do, RobertW?  I remember swimming in the Seahorse Pool too!

I learned to swim in the Seahorse pool.  My brother and I would spend most days there swimming in the Summer as my Grandfather always bought us "season passes".  We'd swim with the Burns kids, Gary, Steve and Chad.  After the pool closed we would sometimes go to their home for dinner when their place was East of Cedar and before they relocated next to the pool.

Mrs. Burns was from Burbank and attended Burbank High School with my mother.

And if we have been keeping up with reading what Terry has been writing about Wrightwood's History...

This place used to be the Pinon Lodge which was built a year before our cabin:

"I learned to swim in the Seahorse pool."

It warms my heart that people your age can still swim, RobertW.  ;D The 1800s were a long time ago.

I'm sorry. I need to speak louder.

IT WARMS MY HEART THAT PEOPLE YOUR AGE CAN STILL SWIM, ROBERTW!!

Just trying to help.  :)
