Larry Blake's on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley closes
The SF Chronicle reports that Larry Blake's the funky watering hole on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley closed for good last week. Well, I disagree with the "for good" part of that sentence. Larry Blake's was supposed to be there for good, forever. Roberta and I had our first date there. After meeting at the Howdy Hop at the Cal Women's Gym in September 1958, we walked to Larry Blake's for something to eat. Roberta ordered a piece of pie for 75 cents and that left me 25 cents for a cup of coffee (remember this was 1958). I don't know what I'd have done if she'd ordered one of Blake's famous hamburgers. Well, our lives might have been quite different. We celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary this year.
