Just east of Escondido Village was the Vineyard, another unique “mall,” this one a two-story wooden structure with a central covered stage for public events, but it didn’t really “catch on.” Some of its tenants were a popular wine and cheese shop, Country Gentleman’s Restaurant (which later closed and reopened under new ownership as Gentlemen’s Choice), a dollar movie theater, the Patio Playhouse and the KOWN radio station.Įscondido has always had places to eat. “Progress” in the form of the planned North County Fair mall at the south end of Kit Carson Park proved the eventual demise of Escondido Village. Its court in front of Walker Scott was a favorite place to hold public events. The covered mall, one of the first of its kind, anchored by the Walker Scott and Sears department stores, was a unique, intimate, pleasant place to just roam. One of the more memorable (if that’s a proper usage) – and I think that many Escondidans would agree – was the Escondido Village Mall on land at Ash Street and Valley Parkway where the cows of Ed Bulen’s Dairy once roamed. Some were memorable some were, well, so-so. ![]() Some were replaced under new management with a new name others lost out to new technology some just got tired and closed up shop others withered away when the populace lost interest in the fad. Some flourished for years, others only a short time but today, all are gone. During those 60-plus years, since 1952 when I started work as a young, raw, rookie sports writer with the former Daily Times-Advocate, there have been an untold number of businesses and establishments that called Escondido home.

For the good? That sometimes is debatable. As a city grows, businesses come and go here today, gone tomorrow. Change is inevitable especially in the Southern California Sun Belt, of which Escondido is an integral part in a bursting San Diego County. And thanks to the FDA for spreading the word.A vibrant city has to evolve to remain so. For more on the recall, check out the FDA's website here. However, if you have family or friends who live in or near Kansas City(that's Missouri and Kansas), the Missouri Metro area, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and other cities in Missouri plus surrounding areas, you may want to reach out and alert themĪs I always say, it's better to be safe than sorry. Thankfully, folks in New England are safe, as the ice cream was only shipped to certain areas of the country. The recall was initiated after the company received a consumer complaint and discovered that the ice cream was shipped in containers that did not declare the presence of peanuts. If the codes are unclear in the above image, the plant code is 29-050 and the "Use By" dates are either 5/18/24 or 6/08/24. Keep in mind that other products from Belfonte are not part of this recall. ![]() Consumers who do have the recalled product with the specified codes in the above image can return them to where they were purchased for a full refund on the product. ![]()
