Crossroads
Drive-in Restaurant Santa Cruz, CA --- Last days for the old Crossroads Drive-in? In the 1950s, the Cross Roads Drive-In restaurant served as a popular
rendezvous for teenagers in Crossroads Bar-B-Q Located a couple of blocks from the Santa Cruz Beach, Boardwalk and
Wharf at the foot of West Cliff Drive and adjacent to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Depot, the Cross Roads also served as a summer hangout for teens
visiting the Beach and Boardwalk from the San Francisco Bay Area, the
Santa Clara Valley, the San Joaquin Valley and other Central California
coastal communities. In March 2001, the City of Santa Cruz announced plans
to demolish the building, which has housed a liquor store for almost 40
years, and replace it with a natural history museum as part of a new park
development. (The SP Depot burned down some years ago.) Above text taken directly from the Help Save the Crossroads Drive-in website by Len Klempnauer. Many thanks to Len for info and photo.
