Brooks Thornton Florist …
This florist was on the corner of 12th Avenue and Cervantes Street. Another florist is now in it’s place and I believe the green house is still in use. The tree is long gone, but I can remember it being decorated for Christmas as a kid. We lived in a garage apartment about two blocks away on Cervantes. We lived there for 5 or 6 years until we moved to Cordova Park. In fact, the garage apartment is still there on Cervantes between 13th and 14th Avenue. One day I might have to drop by and knock on the door. Thanks for looking …
I was a patrol boy on this corner in 1951-52 while attending N. B. Cook school in the 6th grade.
