(This is a correction to an earlier post, now deleted- first post had
a typo in the address!)

In a small square corner brick building at 798 Palm Street, part of
what was considered to be San Luis Obispo's Chinatown, Mr. Chong
opened his candy shop in 1950, having inherited the building from his
brother who ran a diner there for years. Mr. Chong was a wonderful
man who made delicious candy, and his shop was known as a magical
place to visit for almost three decades, until he died in 1978.

The building still stands, and is currently used as a real estate
office, but a plaque on the front tells of Mr. Chong and his candy.
