Location #6

The Campus Drive-In at 345 El Camino Real. According to the employees, this classic burger joint has been called the Campus Drive-In for a very long time. The giant Pepsi mug on the roof is classic. I'm still researching this, but there is a possibility that this building was remodeled from an earlier Atlantic Richfield station that existed at this corner back in the 1930's. It was built by Willie Matasci, and later owned by Bruce and Helen McDonald.
