Shannon's Trivia: Super Duper Discombobulator

Can you name this store?

By Tom Peterson with background and photos by John Foley

The Dalles, Ore., Aug 23, 2024 — Ok Puzzlers, grab your grocery cart and start looking for some clues to this week’s question.

The store above that obviously sold squash was in action in The Dalles in what appears to be the 70s.

Tell us the name of this mom-and-pop shop.

And for beers and jerky, tell us what business operates out of it now. And for double clutch, tell us the two other businesses that have occupied this space.

And if you’re looking to shoot the moon, tell us who operated the store above and a little something of its history.

Send your answers to tom@cccnews.com by Sunday, Aug. 25 by 5:29 p.m. And please, no squash. Zuchini has run its course this summer! Those sending correct answers will be entered into a raffle for a $25 gift certificate to Shannon’s Ice Cream. The winner will be announced Monday, Aug. 26.

Shannon’s Ice Cream 318 E. Fourth Street, The Dalles, scooping the dream daily from noon to 9 p.m. It’s across the street from the Civic Auditorium. Look for the boneshaker out front.
