You Know You Grew Up in Cerritos When You Remember.....More Great Memories, compliments of Cerritos icon Gail Grossman!

These are some more AMAZING Cerritos Memories, from longtime Cerritos community leader Gail Grossman!  Thanks, Gail, and these are WONDERFUL!

"You KNOW You Grew Up In Cerritos when You Remember...."

going to the Feed store on Pioneer to buy feed for your rabbits

Sutherland Lumber on Artesia, which used to be a Club for singers like Joe & Eddie

when you couldn't decide if you wanted Pioneer Chicken or KFC

you lined up at the ABC School District offices to sign up for Pre School classes

you remember the balloon launch at Cerritos Elementary in the rain and one balloon landed in Germany

when your parents social life from February to August was either at the Little League or Softball fields

you watched calves being born at the dairy by CPE
you remember the drive in dairy on Carmenita Road
when you bought paints at Standard Brands
when Ralphs was Market Basket
when Liberty Park had a pig roast
when Heritage Island was built and there were no ducks
when the Cerritos Library was only one floor and only books

when Shane Mack played on the 1984 Olympic baseball team

when the Olympic Bicycle races rode by on the 91 Freeway

when Ernest Vitale and Joe Mendoza were just recreation referee for the city

Send me your Cerritos Memories to RRECONOMY@aol.com   also, send me some of your OLD pics of Cerritos PAST as well.  This is really been FUN walk into our cities past!
