I remember that corner very
well. I grew up one block from there and my
Mom still lives in the same house. I ate
there with my parents in the '50s when I was
very young. I love the pictures of it. I
remember that carhop service in the 1954
Ford Customline that later became my first
car in high school. Oh those were the days!
The 7-11 is now on that corner -- Angela

It was on the northwest corner of college
and El Cajon. They had carhop service at one
time. My dad would go there some time when
we were working on our house in 1950. Later
on my newspaper corner was across the street
at the market. I would work the entrances to
the market. When it slowed down, I would
leave a coin box with the papers and go
cross to the Aztec motel (next door to the
diner) and go around selling papers. I think
I got to keep two cents for every dime i
collected. High finance -- Pat Chambers ’60
The Aztec Drive-In was on
the northwest corner of College and El Cajon
Blvd. It was next to the Aztec (no tell)
Motel -- Larry Higgins ‘65
I believe this is the diner
at the motel on El Cajon where Montezuma and
El Cajon converged. They had the best fried
chicken and corn fritters. Those were the
days when we ate such things. If this is the
same place I am thinking of, it was not a
drive-in. It was sit down only -- both
counter service and booths – Stephanie Steel Johnson ‘74
The Aztec Drive In was
located on the corner of College Avenue and
El Cajon Blvd. There's a Seven-11 store
there now and Bowman's Garage. My husband
remembers good "eats" there. I don't recall
eating there. My family ate mainly at the
College Restaurant, now called the Daily
Grind -- Judy Lyle MacInnes ‘62
