The potential the city of San Bernardino has with its history it’s sad to see it in the shape it is in. But I have high hopes the city will prosper.

I use to go there with a dollar, would get 2 cheeseburgers and order of fries and a drink and would get change back. This was before Ray Kroc. The quality went down once he got involved.
