gosh, I'm sorry the Oakland address.
Another cute tale is one about the rest room in the early days when the walls were so paper thin you could here the plumbing noises in the rest room.Here's how Vic had that problem handled:

"Whenever a customer disappeared inside, the waiters, barmen, and other interested parties set up a deafening clamor with pots, glasses, trays of dishes and other sources of tumult.
When the crisis had passed, something resembling quiet was restored, but new patrons were invariably puzzled by the alternate lulls and commotion in the crockery dept. until they caught on. Soon they too were participating in the skirmishes with bedlam"

Sounds like it was a fun time!

You see things and say, Why? But I dream things that never were, and say, Why not!
