1979: DEL RIO: GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

This was one of my favorite restaurants in my teen years, and right up to my early years of marriage in the 1950's. Del Rio started out as a roadside hot dog stand back in the early 1940's. When I and my teen friends were active in the area, Carl DeAngelo was running a full fledged restaurant. The souithwest motif was a very attractive venue. My buddies were nearly nightly visitors there and Carl saw that we always migrated to that marble top round table for us, dubbing it " knights of the round table."
