Hello! Growing up in Eau Claire, and, having our beautiful home on Keith St., directly across from Regis High school, a blessing to attend, took 3 minutes to walk to Regis’ doors!, we could see the CO-OP SHOPPING CENTER and the continual flashing Red STANDARD OIL sign as well, from my and my Brother’s bedroom.Great roommate too! Memories of walking to, or riding our 1974 Schwinn bicycles to our affectionately known as “The CO-OP” was very, very special! Our dear Grandma and Aunt lived on the other end of Highland Ave. Christmas time at “The CO-OP” was always fun and festive to walk through, even if we didn’t have too much, if any, money to spend. When we had a few bucks, we would buy,with permission from our cool Dad,Tomica,Hotwheels,or Matchbox cars and a quick bite to eat. The popcorn at the CO-OP was absolutely delicious! I literally can smell and taste it! By the way, The pleasant aroma and that wonderful CO-OP smell was always refreshing and memorable! We will always love Eau Claire and the Consumers CO-OP Shopping Center! Wonderful memories of going along with Dad on Friday nights after supper, and Grandma on Thursday nights to “ THE CO-OP”! Memories forever,Johnny Buchignani
