For months, residents of the Arden/Arcade area have wondered what was to become of
the Lyon’s restaurant on the corner of El Camino and Watt. Having stood for over fifty years, the Lyon’s was a unique architectural reminder of a glittering and inventive time gone by. When a crew of demolition workers started to bring the building down in March, rumors flew as to what the new spot would morph into. Mrs. Eats and I really hoped for a Peet’s Coffe and Naia Gelato combo, but both agreed that we’d settle for a Dos Coyotes or even a Fuzio (that’s fusion pasta for those in the know). Well, the bulldozers are gone and the fence has come down and the new location has been unveiled to reveal- TA DAH- extended parking for the Wal Mart. That’s right, the building was demolished so that Wal Mart could have 20 more parking spaces in a parking lot that already sports over 500 spots. Well done Wal Mart. Thanks for keeping the neighborhood relevant.
