My mom used to hostess at the Shangri la........ spent many many happy days there rompin with the owner's granddaughter....... they had the neatest house just past the office. The living room had recessed lighting and it was a step down living room - quite the thing then..... We used to get to iron the sheets on the mangle. Bill (whose gone now) and Yosi ran the cantonese resturant. Was so strange..... Bill was Chinese.... Yosi - Japanese..... I saw her last at bingo at the V......... she's a bingo fool!!...... They were always so nice to us kids......... always fed us but then on birthdays we always had to eat seaweed soup. Was so strange for a gal used to seein seaweed washed up on the gulf........... Yosi is a Heroshema (sp) survivor....... Both immigrants that brought many family over without protesting or shoving thier flag in your face. Just gentle folks that wanted a better life. And contributed something to the country they chose to come to. Imagine comming to the USA when they were the ones that almost killed ya......... I think thier relatives still run Silver Spur resturant........ Bill and Yosi moved to SS resturant after Shangri la folded........ aaahhhhh the good ole times.
