Photo of the Week
I love this old picture Antioch photo and it's history. You can tell these F.O.E. members were feeling fine when this photo was taken. The year was 1914 the image sharp and clear. I bank at the Bank of Agriculture. The "A" St., office has a wall size wallpaper image of this photo in the lobby. I can't help but notice it when I am in there. I would love to see more Antioch photos from this unidentified photographer. Part of the Antioch Historic Photo Exhibit Display this month at the museum.

Jost Distillery, Antioch CA
The first time I saw the name Jost Distillery was on an old city map dating back to the 1890's. The site was near where the "A" St., cannery was, near the waterfront. Nice building, whiskey kegs and plenty of able looking whiskey makers. I would like to know more about this effort and why it no longer exists. If I find something out I will pass it along.

Jeanette Thomas
Sept 11, 1961 - February 16, 2015
I've known Jeanette for almost 30 years. Cute as a bugs ear is the expression. She cut my hair for years. She had two beauty shops, two cars and a nice house. She could cook like the dickens and liked to put on a great party. She did things her way. Right up to the end she wanted no help, no advise, from anyone. She walked her own path. God bless her.
