demise of Cosentino's Silver Creek--Phooey

[mammallamadevil]

Cosentino's is a local foodie joint that started as a vegetable stand in the 40s, and by the time I moved up to Santa Clara in 1997, had three stores. The one in Santa Clara was sold 2 years ago, and as of the 18th, the one in Silver Creek/Evergreen neighborhood will be sold.  Only the Bascom store will remain

Mmm, tri-tip!

Sorry to hear that it's closing. On the other paw, Win-Co has reared its head up here. I'm ambivalent about it.

Have a good trip! Keep in touch! *hugs*

It's always a shame when stores like that shut down--stores where you actually like shopping and don't find it a chore.

I've taken a few folks there..

[mammallamadevil]

including the overgrown children, who oohed and aahed over the produce and the spices. It's not quite the same at Bascom.

oh well, that's what safeway online purchasing is for...

it's so sad when landmarks we've known for soooooooooooooooo long, just.... evaporate.. :/

I'd say that the Bascom one is really a landmark

[mammallamadevil]

it's like the San Jose I remembered before it became so gosh darn BIG. I remember when 101 was full of stop signs and Frontier Village.

Silver Creek to me is like a hidden nook where yes, large houses dare to tread, but there are nice places to walk and relax.
