Summary
Tom Rivera interviews Alice Rodriguez-Contreras and later her son Rick Contreras as well. Alice herself explains the history of her and her family's arrival from New Mexico to South Colton. The majority of the interview revolves around Alice’s father’s grocery store and the life that surrounds it. Especially during its life, the store was a hub for kindness, community, and good butchered meat. After discussing her time in Colton’s schools, her son Richard is brought into the interview as a guest. He talks about his own story with his grandfather’s store as well as living in South Colton in the Mexican American community. The interview then ends with Alice and Risk reminiscing about the pleasant childhood memories in South Colton.
