Does anyone remember a Ridgeways ice cream store on east 17th st. in Santa Ana, right next to the 5 freeway (on the North side) by the RR tracks? (Last I saw of the building it was a Bar). I worked there in my last couple of years at S.A. High School. 1958-1959. Then went to work at the Flight Circle at Disneyland. Ridgeways sold primarily to restaurants, but had a couple of stores. They made all their own stuff. Moved from Calif. in 1996.Click on Post a Comment below, and chime in if you have anything.

Used to go to Ridgeways in the early/mid 50's with my parents and sister after dinner for an ice cream, driving in our '50 Buick, always got chocolate chip, big chunks of chocolate, then we'd follow search lights, see where they led us, usually to a store opening or a car lot having a sale. Ridgeways went from bar to I believe now it's bail bonds.
Walter Ridgeway was my great uncle. My mothers dad (who was Walters brother-in-law) had a dairy in Corona so Walter had direct access for his Ice cream business in Santa Ana. He and my great aunt Ava lived in the Floral Park section of Santa Ana with their 2 children. The extended family still stays in touch.
