Boy what memories, especially when your born and raised and still live here, have lived in other States, but love this State. Chandler was a little whoa down town, but lovely with Serrano's restaurant. Serranos clothing store, along side of the little pharmacy owned by the Saba's loved that little town, even that little barrio the arm pit in spanish it was called Sovacko? on spelling. But loved living there especially in the old days when the Marco's Hotel was the hottest to see and visit the golf course. It has changed a lot I know that but memories live on.
