Looking through the grainy lens of the past I see the Bob’s Big Boy across the street. It was among the first restaurants in Mira Mesa. Drove by many times on the way to Jack in the Box. Only had 40 minutes before the lunch bell rang back at Mira Mesa High. I never made it in there before it closed. I still wonder what the food was like.

Saturdays I use to bike down this road on my way to Comic Kingdom. It was the furthest I had ever biked but comic books were the obsession of my 8 year old self. I never let myself get distracted on my quest but I remember a Pioneer Chicken and a Food Basket along the way but I don’t remember Colima’s Mexican Food.

There is something about brick buildings that I just adore. Maybe it’s the architecture, symmetry or the lovely brick red color, it makes a statement loud and clear. Here I am! Come on inside! This place appealed to me right from the start. A genuine replica of Boston’s original Green Dragon Tavern, demolished in 1854. Silly people, didn’t they know what they were tearing down?

Keeper of the Seeds: I like this plan… we could start again, just like the old days!
Max Rockatansky: Look, it’ll be a hard day.
[points to the horizon]
Max Rockatansky: But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way… there’s nothing but salt.
[points back]
Max Rockatansky: At least that way we might be able to… together… come across some kind of redemption.

We walked into the restaurant to ask a few questions because the signage is a bit confusing. More on signage later. The lady behind the counter informed us; this is a Thai restaurant, not Chinese. Well okay already. It was empty inside so we had our pick of tables. Woo hoo.
Dinnertime!
This little shopping center hasn’t changed much since my kid was riding her first bike nearby and looked forward to our visits to Sprouts to get a free balloon. There use to be a Chinese restaurant which wasn’t that good. It was one and done for us.
