Oh, speaking of Bakeries. Pacific Bakeries on Powell Street had the most delicious cream puff buns. Cindy's and other goodies were equaly good.

That 300 block of Powell Street was bustling with action. Rooming houses upstairs and retail shops downstairs. One of my best friend's family owned Eng's Cafe. It catered to the single men who lived in the rooming houses. There were quite a few Japanese shops there. All on the south side of Powwell......Shimizu Shoten, Mori Shoten, Aki Restaurant, Evergreen Japanese pottery store, Mihamaya, KC Barber Shop, just to name a few. Kay's Seafood is still there, but it isn't owned by the original Japanese owners anymore. They still make fish cakes using the old recipe, but for some reson, it ain't the same.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
