@Richard230 I'm sure our paths have crossed a time or two. Always stopped by Alice's on Saturday/Sundays in my younger years, but don't make it there too much these days.

Zitat von soch im Beitrag #16 That could be. I have been visiting Alice's Restaurant for breakfast almost every Sunday morning since the mid-1970's.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #15 The old Confederate brand rebranded themselves as Curtiss and teamed with Zero to focus on an all-electric line. At the time of the rebranding, the owner stated they were loosing sales due to the slavery connection. But, a new investor, Ernest Lee, came along and resurrected the old brand and line of IC engine bikes. Ironically, they insist on naming the models after WW2 and later aircraft, instead of places or figures from the slavery era.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #20Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14 The drywall bucket with the window squeegee?  I guess that grey thing under the paper towel dispenser could be a wash station. But, I'm sure someone at the county food safety inspector office is shaking their head.......

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #21Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #20Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14 You are right. That is the hand washing station. It is powered by a foot pump. You place your foot on a rubber billows and pump away to get water to come out of the faucet. Of course that assumes that someone remembered to refill the tank each morning. The restaurant has nuked their entire bathroom building (in the background) with its three flush toilets (two women and one for the men) and will be building new bathrooms, likely handicap accessible. The old ones must have been something like 70 years old.

Going back several posts, this page from the current Alice's Restaurant, http://www.alicesrestaurant.com/about/ , tells of how and when it was named. It sounds like a great place. I wish it was a couple thousand miles closer. |

Zitat von BusBoy11 im Beitrag #24 You know what interesting about that place? The front of the restaurant faces the road with outdoor tables facing the parking lot. Kinda like a French café that faces the street. In my area, central PA, you may find a full-serve restaurant in a rural setting, but the front door will be on the backside of the building (away from the road) and any outdoor tables will also be hidden from traffic. As a result, the business looks the same open, or closed, from the street. A "Family" restaurant (i.e., no alcohol and diner / truck-stop style food) will face the street.

From some of the old photos that the Restaurant has on its walls, it appears that the current parking lot was originally part of the state highway that curved in front of the restaurant and provided a sweeping access to La Honda, San Gregorio and the Pacific Ocean, down State Highway 84. At some point the highway department decided to make it a T-intersection for safety reasons and to slow down traffic making that turn, leaving that section of the old highway available for use as a parking lot for Alice's Restaurant.

Is this close enough to a motorcycle to be posted in the "Other Bikes" forum? With warm and sunny weather in the SF Bay Area for the past month (not a single drop of moisture in about 45 days so far) this very nice restored Mini Cooper showed up across from Alice's Restaurant yesterday.
