| February Christmas Wreath |
On a walk earlier in the week I asked at Stadium Thriftway
about work being done on the rest of their building. Between Christmas Wreathes and now, the fence
surrounded the auto business, the wreath on the auto business continues.
The upstairs will be a German beer parlor and restaurant,
downstairs there probably will be a Starbucks, and she remembered the German
Restaurant on Division, The Bavarian.
At The Pacific Northwest Room I learn the building with The
Bavarian was Viafore’s Italian Restaurant for forty years, only became The
Bavarian in 1959. Upstairs was Merrick’s
Dance Studio. A publisher took me to
lunch at The Bavarian once, and once I stopped by to have a strudel in a
Hunting Lodge room with Deer Heads. Rock
and Roll Magic was advertised for the upstairs Dance Studio, and on one of my
bicycle rides past on the return from a store,
I heard a party and the song, Have Nagela.
When it became an El Toro, after a time, the building
burned, and I took a photo of this difficult event. The building was a landmark.
The building with the Thriftway Store was a
Chevrolet Auto Repair Spanish Mission Style building. Through a window on a far side I saw that
from the windows on each side would be a view.
