History Of 206 N Santa Cruz Avenue

This building has housed many restaurants throughout the years before Forbes Mill.  Here is a list of the last several restaurants and businesses.

• Stovie's Pizza and Pasteria - A locally owned pasta and pizza place prior to 2002.
• Good Earth Restaurant - I loved Good Earth's tea!  You can still buy it today but it's not the same.  My favorite dish at Good Earth was the Magic Eggplant Casserole. This place was a favorite of vegetarians although it had dishes with meat too.  It was still in business in 1995 but went away after that.  They also had locations in Santa Clara as well as other parts of California.  You can read about some of their history here.
• Bumbleberry Pies - A fantastic pie place as well as burgers, chiles, sandwiches and salads.  The owner would drive around dressed in purple in his purple Lincoln Continental.  Quite the character.  There were here in the early 1970's.
• Noodle Palace - This pasta place was very big spaghetti joint in the 1980's.
• Rao's Super Market - Was in this location in 1967
• Paul Swanson Ford Dealership - This was the original location of the Paul Swanson Ford Dealership which eventually moved to the corner of Blossom Hill Road and Los Gatos Boulevard.
