Photo 5 shows the 1950's fire at the location of what is now the Crazy Gringo in Weirs Beach. Lacpicguy has two other photos of the fire elsewhere (found photos, More found photos). The burning building was originally a grocery store called
C.F. Cram's. After the building was rebuilt, Charlie's lunch counter continued to occupy the left side of the building. In the 1970's, on the right side of the building, there was a head shop called Xanadu. (Does anyone remember the head shop?) In the 1980's the two sides were merged to become the Mexican restaurant called Nothin' Fancy, later Rita's, now the Crazy Gringo.
Also seen in the photo is
Pinney's Gift Shop. This building still stands and is now the home of Everest Mountain Goods on the left side, and the K&L Candy Boutique on the right side.
