San Jose, California recent comments:

William Binder was the architect, Henriette and Isabel De Saisset, daughters of Pedro De Saisset, were the builders. Brothel? Blacksmith? Hotel, restaurant, California Loan Co. for sure were located in the building.

This is Harmonic Inc.

This used to be Hewlett Packard LED division.

This bank is too bad service. I got the same trouble like that. I got 2 times . Now, I came back and ask them how long they give my money back. They told me that they did not know, I need to wait the answer from the person's ATM. I told them that they stop my payment transaction. They get me the trouble with the payment. How is the bank do? Nobody reply include the manager and employee from the bank. I think that is reason, the customer say goodbye Citibank.

this used to be the Rental Car lot, now it's converted to Long Term Parking Economy Lot 1 http://sjc.org/travelers.php?page=parking/p_overview&exp=2

PW Market closed in August 2010 "After nearly seven decades in the grocery industry, Joey Franco’s PW Markets has decided to call it quits. The family-owned business is moving out of groceries into real estate, leasing all its existing locations." http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2010/08/16/story1.html

This restaurant was the ultimate place to gather with friends and family. I remember enjoying eating, happy hour in a spectacular setting. Talk about entertanment. I took a belly dancing course because I wanted to dance there. The audience, a crowd pleaser. If I could, I would open the building and bring it to life expectations for all to want to be.

This was California's last public lynching. The actual last lynching took place on January 6, 1947 in Callahan, CA. http://academic.evergreen.edu/p/pfeiferm/California.html and http://www.scn.org/~begley/lynching.txt

I only noted this location because I used to walk past it and I could never quite figure out what this place was. It is tucked deep within a residential neighborhood and there is no information visible from the street as to what it is.

The Majors field is named for Edward J Freitas, who SOLD the land to Moreland School District, with a request that it be used for baseball. The land was not donated to anyone. (This fact has been confirmed by one of his children.)

I have been to these condos and they are new and nice. Many are reselling right now for a very low cost.. Call for more info.

Who owns this place now? It's shame to let this building fall apart. I remember going there for dinner when I was in High School back in the 60's.

The cowboy mural was by local artist Don Clever. (1919-2001)

The parking lot DOES seem rather empty.

A store with great selections on CD replication and packaging solutions.

Now an La Quinta

Andrew Hill High School. XD.

we grew up in zorbas ,pete ,nick and tim were great people ,they treated everyone like family,the food was great ,music and dancing ,everynight was a family party they must have had thousands of weddings,37 years in business ,family owned and opertated ,pete would roll up his sleeves and start cooking steaks for 500 people like a walk in the park san jose needs a place like that again

zorbas was a fine restaurant with banquet rooms ,live greek music ,i remember many fun nights there,business slowed down.pete the owner passed away ,and the sons ran it till the lease was up.my understanding is the landlord sold the back driveway to the light rail system.the boys did a fine job while they where there.its been empty because the light rail runs to close to the building now .to bad for money!oh yes one more thing it closed in 2000 october ,thats the end of there lease
