A friend and I had lunch there on Wednesday. I love that place!<br /><br />Many of the other places you mention are gone now. The Snack Shop/Coco's in Orange is now something else that I don't remember. <br /><br />The La Palma Chicken Pie Shop was still open in Anaheim the last time I checked. Same food. Possibly the same staff.<br /><br />Vista del Gaviota is still one of the funniest street names in Orange County. Is that "view of the seagull" as in, "I can see a seagull from here!" or as in "the seagulls can see our street." Either way, it's pretty weird Real Estate Spanish.Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-70131347718153648162010-09-16T21:24:56.283-07:002010-09-16T21:24:56.283-07:00Andylynne,
This is really a small world. We live...Andylynne,<br /><br />This is really a small world. We lived on Canal St., in Orange, right down the street from Vista del Gaviota. There is someone else in this archive whose relatives lived in the white house on the corner of Lincoln and Orange-Olive Rd, across the street near Eisenhower Park. There was a weird church there- "Church of the Tazaddi", remember?<br /><br />I remember the pancake house on Lincoln- I don't know if it's still there, we live out of state now. I presume the Snack Shop in Orange is still CoCo's. My step-dad worked at a construction company who built all the JoJo's and Naugle's restaurants. I think they were part of the Coco's chain. Before we moved to Orange, we lived in Corona del Mar. I went to school with John McIntosh, whose father started the Snack Shops, and later turned into CoCo's<br /><br />I remember Sav-On's ice cream, but don't remember if it was good. We used to frequent the Sav-On on Katella and Tustin. There still is a little stand across Chapman University- if you go on Google street view, you can see it- I don't know if it serves food or just ice cream. I think it is painted white with a blue border. Is the Chili Pepper the restaurant on the corner of Main and Chapman in Santa Ana? Is it still there?<br /><br />I haven't lived in CA for 10 years, and would like to visit.<br /><br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
