Hobby page only, our Real Estate Practice is single family residential real estate.
U.S. Highway 50 was created in 1926. It ran through Tracy, up Mckinley (now El Dorado) to Charter Way then East and then North on Wilson Way. Highway 99 turned west on Mariposa Road to Charter Way, then North on Wilson Way, to Waterloo Road and then Left on Cherokee Lane making the combined Highway 50/Highway 99/Wilson Way one of the busiest streets in Stockton. The Highway 99 freeway on the east side of Stockton changed Wilson Way forever. The retail and motels were hard hit. When the city redeveloped the West End along Center and El Dorado it drove the prostitutes further east to Wilson Way. This page is a blend of both past and present.

102 N. Wilson Way - Growers Hall - The younger generation often went down to Chets' a popular bar on the street level of Growers Hall. Times have changed. The condition of old Growers Hall has deteriorated. Chet's is now closed--a burned out shell of its former reputation where deals were made, crops were bought and sold, and good food was served. In the heyday of the Growers Market, Chefs began serving breakfast at 4:00 A.M. During each cherry season, many times all day long, the noise was near bedlam as brokers and shippers argued and made their deals each shouting louder than his competition. Truckers and railroad agents were also at Chets, because "that's where the action was."

More about Grocery Outlet

First known as Canned Foods Grocery Outlet until 1987, is a privately owned supermarket chain. Founded in 1946 in San Francisco, California currently operates within the Western states of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona. The company was in the Texas market for a few years after buying the Yes!Less chain from (now defunct) Fleming, however all Texas stores have now been closed. It is a value-oriented grocery retailer — what the company dubs extreme-value. The company primarily operates stores under the Grocery Outlet name and was in a dispute with Albertsons over the use of the Lucky brand. Supervalu now operates 3 stores under the Lucky brand.
