The Record
Thousands of people were still without power in Stockton and San Joaquin County Wednesday after a powerful storm brought rain and howling winds through the region.
On Wednesday morning, some local residents took advantage of a break in the storm to begin cleaning up. Alexis Villa of Stockton, who lives on El Camino Avenue in north Stockton, was sweeping up the debris and assessing the damage.
She said a couple of fence boards were blown off, a branch from a neighbor s tree hit her car and a canopy in her backyard was bent. Not too bad. I ve seen worse, Villa said. Two years ago (during a storm) a tree came down and landed right on the stop sign.
Surge in neighborhood’s popularity continues as sense of community draws new residents
Native Knoxvillian Gary Koontz has been ordering the same meal at Rankin Restaurant on North Central Street since the early 1960s. He remembers well growing up in North Knoxville’s Oakwood-Lincoln Park neighborhood, attending Christenberry Junior High and Fulton High School. And he remembers eating at the diner.
Gary, a realtor with Realty Executives, still drops in from time to time at Rankin’s, a North Knoxville staple since 1953. On Rankin’s Facebook page the diner is described as “the oldest operating restaurant in Knoxville.” The restaurant is not far from The Original Freezo, another retro restaurant in the neighborhood. It opened in 1942 and is the home of a great swirled soft-serve cone.
