SLOWLY, BUT SURELY, WORKMEN RESTORE SAN FERNANDO BUILDINGS WITH CIRCA 1880 BRICKS

INSCRIPTION ON MARKER:
Built beginning in 1877 for Victoriano Fernandez, the Border Brick style structures were built in stages, possibly accounting for the varying heights. The last of the three buildings was completed in 1886. They were designed as a combination commercial space/private residence, and originally housed Fernandez’s furniture store. Since then, the buildings have been occupied by the San Fernando Hotel, saloons and a variety of commercial establishments.

No one I know gives a flying fuck about the old days. They're gone and thank God for that! You go ahead and wallow in that fake history shit, Monty. You are not employed and have the time. But we ask, for how long, ese?

Juan, heard this at a local cantina the other day from someone you know. He said that if you put a camera on the dying bed of an elderly relative that you will catch the faint sight of either God or the Devil reaching for the body at the moment of their passing. Wild, huh? But I'm going to do it. My grandpa is 96. . .

Are they using public funds? They should restore the Coor's beer sign on Hwy48 instead we get a Jesus Loves you sign. BARF!

That location used to be a hotel I think. Later in the 1980s was darn nice little beer joint.
