I WONDER how many beach residents assume that Tokyo House has ALWAYS been on the northwest corner of Cass Street and Garnet Avenue. Not the case. Sam Dunaway came over from the Imperial Valley (why, yes, he DOES have a freeway exit named after him out in the desert) in the early 1920s and built a drugstore on the southwest corner of the intersection. It soon proved too small and Sam built a two-story brick building across the street in 1926. Dunaway Drugstore served the community until shortly after I took this photo in February 1990. That’s pharmacist and former Honorary Mayor Wally Vine on the left.
