Ottoson’s Jewlers, Bijou Theater, Plaza Theater, Montgomery Ward’s, J.J. Bittner’s Gun Shop, Foster’s Freeze, San Diego Office Supply, Cowan’s Sporting Goods, Ernie Cowan Photography, Dailey Photography, Olan Mills Photography. For me, El Taquito had the best carne asada. TG&Y, Green Music, Farrell’s, Walker Scott, Aunt Emma’s, Lodico’s, O’Bryans’, Krishna Mulvaney’s, and Dominguez family restaurants in numerous locations had the best salsa anywhere. Steak, Cask & Cleaver, Fireside, Straw Hat Pizza, Square Pan Pizza, Lampost Pizza, Father and Sons Pizza, los Amigos, Hacienda de Vega, Skipper’s Club, Longbranch Saloon, Dante’s Restaurant, Murphy’s Frozen Custard (very good), Finney Field, Red Root Field, and I will include George and Ann’s for all you EHS grads although they may have closed before I moved here. Westside Cafe, Frazier Farms, Wayside Shop, China Doll Restaurant, Chuck’s Steak House, Mr. Alpha Beta, Food Basket, Mayfair, Westside Market. I trust these names will bring back fond memories-most all locally owned. Following will be a long list of shops, stores and restaurants gone but I will not include North County Fair, ooops I mean Westfield North County, as major malls have constant turnover. There wasn’t anything like that in New Jersey from whence I came. After I found Orange Julius in the Escondido Village Mall I knew I was in Eden. When I started to think about businesses no longer here I took a deep dive down memory lane and found out the list is quite extensive, a lot more than I originally thought. Due to changing buying habits some businesses are not relevant any longer. And there are the corporate entities that either close underperforming units or the corporation goes out of business. Some owners prefer to retire and close up shop rather than sell which I have also been witness to. Then there is the owner with a lousy attitude which I have witnessed as a reason for a business to say bye-bye and the lack of customers forces closure.

Number one is undercapitalization, Another is lack of business experience or knowledge and the unwillingness to do what it takes. The first things to know are a few reasons why various businesses aren’t around any longer.

After last week’s column referring to Rube Nelson I began to think about the many businesses that have come and gone in my 46 plus years living in Escondido. Owners spend a lot more time than what hours the business is open. If you have ever owned and or managed a business you know that the task is not as easy as it may appear to be.
