Sweet photo. And yes, the bar is named after the proprietor himself who generally refuses to answer to his real name.

Connotations...pardon. Which brings up another question: How come a car is named after a walk? Great pic:)

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?

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?

Sweet, thanks. And I definitely like it better as "Casino is the True Path."

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."

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?
