What the cannabis dispensary used to be

Floyd Perry Jr. responds to an item about the cannabis dispensary.

“Being a longtime Stocktonian, I fondly remember when the Pathway’s Pot Dispensary at 20 East Acacia Street used to be the original location of MEADOW’S CAMERA SHOP. It was located there from 1945 until 1987. The original Victorian store stood there until it was torn down in 1964 for the current building. I have attached a photo of the building when it was Meadows that i took in 1987 when they were closing down.”

Thanks, Floyd. That a Victorian was torn down to make way for that bland nonentity of commercial architecture says everything you need to know about Stockton redevelopment in the Sixties.
