The city of of Chowchilla in California's Central Valley hopes to buy the abandoned Mammoth Orange juice stand which sits along Highway 99 just outside the city. They would move the 10-foot-high citrus replica downtown and reopen it for business. ~ LinkThese orange food and juice stands were almost ubiquitous along Highway 99 in the 1950's (pre-McDonald's). I think the Chowchilla restaurant was the last functioning orange before it closed a couple of years ago -- about the time we moved from California to Guam -- to make way for the highway improvments.
