The Capri
18625 monterey st, 408 778-5642. used to be a a hot spot in the 50's as a restaurant, place to dance, and a bar. the capri was closed and has been the host to many different restaurants. later it was turned into a mexican restaurant called "el capri". after el capri closed a single taco cart going by the same name sat outside the vacant building until they moved to san martin just south of morgan hill on monterey rd.. now the building that once was a hot spot in the 50's where people went to dance, drink and eatsuch as my grandparents, it sits vacant. this historic landmark is certainly an eye catcher and is sad to see it not being used.
