On the corner of Nira and San Marco, there used to be a Texas Drive In Restaurant. San Marco was so nice back then.

I didn't see Pom's Thai mentioned...or Simon's wine bar. I still miss Simons.

I see that Out to Lunch was mentioned earlier.  It was owned by Paul Hanson who owned The Tree Steak House.  I worked at the Tree from many years.  It was a great place to work.

Drove through San Marco this week and noticed that Herman Jackson's Atomic Cleaners was either closed or moved.  It was in that location for at least 40 to 50 years. There was some mention on a business review site that it had changed hands at some point. Anyone have more details?

Herman Jackson's moved to the other side of the Square - can't remember the exact location - but very close to Peterbrooke's.

Does anyone else remember that there was a Fox restaurant in San Marco?  I think there were three or four around town...now, the only one left is the one in Avondale.  The San Marco Fox was on Hendricks, I think on the block where they tore everything down for the East San Marco project.  It was on the same side of the street as Matthews.  It was there when I went to Landon Junior High in the '60's.  I also remember the A&P, White's, and Worman's Deli, all of which have been mentioned above.  Once, some guys from Landon were over by White's one morning before school and saw some parcels on the sidewalk.  They investigated and discovered one was a stack of Playboy magazines.  Jackpot!  Needless to say, when the folks who ran White's arrived to open up that day, one of their deliveries was missing!  I'm not endorsing what those guys did...it was stealing, after all...but let's just say those Playboys found quick distribution among the young men of Landon and contributed to their education that day.

Has anyone mentioned Hartley the Florist?

Hartley Workin-   was the contest name for a boat that he was getting and listeners called in with suggestions on the fishing show with Lageman, Waltz and Faver. I bought some flowers on occasion. I think its a restaurant now.
