Memories about growing up in:

Back in the day, this was one of the best eateries in Fresno. Not sure if it is even there anymore. It was my first expensive restaurant I ever took a date to. I was so clueless at the time that when the waitress dropped the check off, I got up and started to patrol the restaurant looking for the cash register. Finally, the freaked out waitress tracked me down - thinking that I was trying to skip out on the check. After a few seconds of talking to me, she realized that I was just ignorant of fine dinning protocol. Ahh, to be young again! Here is a photo of the Hi Life menu. Can you say Filet Mignon for $7.50?

It has been closed for over 20 years...There was a nice Chinese Restaurant there in the early 1990's that I sold wine and liquor to....Wang's Panda...I think it is gone also..Right where the tracks cross Van Ness on the East side....

yeah, Wang's Panda is gone too. Basque place now.
