The Casa Lido was a favorite lunch spot for state workers in the 60's and 70's after the L&I and Ag complex was built. Of note Tom, since you often comment on the configuration of the town, those three buildings were supposed to represent a "birthday party" with the Health and Labor building as "presents" and the Health Lab (the round building), as a cake. The other buildings have a ribbon on top and the lab has "candles". It was all for the bicentennial celebration back in the 60's.
