Yeah, I lasted just one year in I.V. - the student ghetto - and then headed into the city proper (321 Islay) which was much more enjoyable. I worked at the Mar Monte Hotel on East Beach before Parker's convention center reshaped Cabrillo Blvd.

Back then "Fiesta" was the only event that brought the hordes in from outside the city and The Summer Solstice was still a locals only party that was loads of fun. Joe's Cafe is where everyone met on Friday night - fair food, strong drinks - and lot's of great memories. Good place to live if you were wealthy or going to school. Pretty tough otherwise.

Ha! I worked at Harry's Cafe for two years, the sister store of Joe's. Fiesta was so much fun.

It's such a small world, isn't it?
