Remembering Bygone Merchants

Editor,

After attending a most enjoyable evening of the “Lagunatics” show, one of the numbers “Down in Laguna,” listed about five long gone downtown businesses.

My memory was stimulated to remember over 50 more!

See those listed below. I only go back to about 1960 in Laguna so I’m sure there are many, many more. I encourage long time Lagunans to send them in.
