Turkey Time Means Focusing on Football, Film, and Food! [Extra Extra]

Show Preview: Brackett & Co., Real Estate
Waiting on three-quarters of a pound of beefy (or eggplanty) goodness at Casino El Camino. Anyone know where the name Casino El Camino came from? We never thought to ask.
In the photo, by the way, are the Saldana Bros. of local band Visitors.

the owner of the bar is named Casino. nicknamed. whatever.
but somehow I doubt he drives an El Camino. maybe it was his first car?
by the way, that is a beautiful photo.
Just ask the man himself.
Casino El Camino was supposed to be a rough translation meaning "Casino's Roadhouse", but it effectively translates to "Casino is the True Path."
Sweet, thanks. And I definitely like it better as "Casino is the True Path."
as always, gorgeous photo
Of course it is gorgeous, that's Nick Saldana. Purr.
El Camino just means the road. I've never heard it translated as a true path? Huh?
I think 'la calle' is just the road or the street, but el camino "the walk" has deeper possible conotations. That's just a somewhat educated guess though. Did I spell conotations right?
Connotations...pardon. Which brings up another question: How come a car is named after a walk?
Great pic:)
Sweet photo. And yes, the bar is named after the proprietor himself who generally refuses to answer to his real name.
