THE VALS Filming Location #3: The Auto Center







Here is the Old JC PENNEY AUTO CENTER near the department store. It was seen briefly in the movie. Today it is the location of BRANNON TIRE.

Looks like this blog is inactive, but hoping you see this. My mother was born in stockton in the 50's. We were estranged when I was a teen, I moved far away, then she died quite young.

Much of her life is a mystery to me, but she was an incredible woman. I'm attempting to write a memoir of her, and hopefully a documentary as well. The memories of my childhood are few and vague, and having just 6 pictures doesn't help. All her belongings - heirlooms, antiques, books, even the photo albums & undeveloped film - were stolen.

She owned a shop called 'The Learning Experience' on Yosemite Ave sometime between 1977 and 1982. I've been unable to find any info about it. I want to know the exact address and what years she operated it, as I can vaguely remember accompanying her to work. I found a picture online that appeared to be from the 70s, but it was 'Maxwell's Books', so perhaps that was there before or after her shop...but it may have been a different address.

I'm also looking for pictures from the 50s thru 80s of Stockton - places she lived and worked (Breuners), places we went, and so on. If you can assist me in any way, please contact me at violet.blume13@gmail.com

I don't like posting my personal info online, so please contact me when you see this comment, whether you can assist me or not, so I may delete it. Thank you.

By the way - I met Forrest J. Ackerman, got the personal tour of his home. No photos sadly.
