History

Folklore was that semiconductor pioneers were collaborative and met at the Wagon Wheel to discuss problems they were having with production. In the 1950s, the most popular places for young folk were the Monte Vista drive-in movie theater on Grant Road, Johnny Mac's Scottish-themed burger drive-in (the building still stands vacant on El Camino), and the Eagles Shack dances in the Adobe Building. Local watering holes for workers included Chubby's Broiler (which once stood at Ellis and Fairchild near Hwy 101, but which moved in 1999 to near Tasman and Lawrence Expressway in Sunnyvale ) and Walker's Wagon Wheel on Middlefield Road near Whisman (since torn down). Row crops and orchards were common during this era, when there was still open space between Palo Alto and Mountain View. The hospital facility at 2500 Grant Road has been in continual operation since.
