Oh my Gawd Barbara! Mike's Munchies - that's where my friends and I went
out on "special occasions" when we were starving poor in our 20s! I lived
in Seal Beach - on10th Street - from '76 - '79. I had to moonlight back
then painting dolls' heads at night just to afford gasoline and Joni albums
;-) Where did they re-open - in Marina Pacifica?
