I grew up in Orange County and we had Foster's Freeze there as well (although as a little kid I tended to mispronounce it as "Frosty Freeze"), so I don't know how "local" it was.
Also, I stumbled upon this pretty interesting history of Azorean immigration to California (with chapters on East Coast and Hawaii as well) that might be of interest to folks. Some of you may have seen this already, but if not there is some good info, especially regarding patterns of immigration and distribution of Azorean/Portuguese immigrants in different parts of California throughout the years: http://library.csustan.edu/bsantos/azorean.html#3-33 Steve -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
