Heald's College had many reincarnations and just recently completely closed up. Very sad. Sperry Flour was the flour mill next to the water tower. No longer there.<br /><br />As for The Owl, it was actually the "newspaper" for Fresno High and the the graduation editions were what we would call a yearbook as they had the pictures for the year in them. The school newspaper is now The Owlet and the yearbook is still The Owl.

I doubt the drug store meant the mixture applied to the bottom of shoes. The best definition I can come up with is "anything good not specifically named." Maybe that's like saying "miscellaneous" but with a definite positive spin.

I didn't know it, but have read about it extensively. It was so far more luxurious than ANYTHING that currently passes for first class in Fresno. <br /><br />Even after the Hughes burned down, there remained a first-class luxury resort west of the 99, the Hacienda resort. A sister resort to the Las Vegas Hacienda, it remained until the 1980s. <br /><br />Sorry, but the closest thing to "luxury" in Fresno might be the Ramada Inn.
