Who remembers when route 237 was country road with a flashing signal at Maude Avenue? The Bier Garten (not sure of the spelling) on the corner was a favorite lunch hangout with awesome cheeseburgers.
I remember that! 237 was a country road through a lot of grassland. The only thing of note in that part of the bay was a few streets of houses in Alviso. Great America was surrounded by empty space when it was built.
Do you remember when they condemned all the houses along SR85 so high school kids could play loud music, drink, and party without bothering their parents?
