Hody’s drive-in and walk-in restaurant at the traffic circle; Jones’s Cafeteria downtown; The Whistle Stop hamburger stand on Fourth and Grand (ummmm, I can still smell those grilled onions around the corner in the summertime); The Broadway Department store in Los Altos; Tenkhoff’s (sp?) Drugstore at Fourth and Termino; Gemco in Los Altos (a Target store is there now).
