WOW when I first saw this thread I thought it was for the Deuce in the warehouse district. I really don't have a store just memories when I was in my early twenties and has hired on at a large remodeling company. I was on a lets see how you do in a month before we put you on payroll. One of my tasks has to go downtown and pull permits at the building department. At that time building was on the 3rd floor of the now Calvin Goode building.I would drive to the Deuce area to park because that neighborhood had no parking meters.That was before they gave me a gas and parking allowance. I would walk from the Deuce to city hall to pull permits and never was panhandled in the area. I remember mostly the two Mexican restaurants Nogales Cafe and The Matador. I would have lunch at these places every time I went because the food was so great.The Matador later moved across the street from the Hyatt.
