Years ago, a date drove me from Longmont to Fort Collins for dinner. Years later, when I moved to Fort Collins, I asked people about the Mexican restaurant with the dome. No one knew what the heck I was talking about. For a while, I thought I’d dreamt it or gone crazy. I just opened this page and read about Gonzalo’s!!!!! I’m not crazy! Well…not about this at least.

I agree with you about Poudre Valley’s Ice Cream.It was the best and couldn’t be beat! My dad delivered for them in the Roggen area for 16 years. Sure wish I could find some memorabilia!

In the ’60s, the Poudre Valley Creamery had the best peppermint ice cream in the world! We would get a cone after the Boots & Spurs meeting. Boots & Spurs was a horseback riding club for kids.

I still long for that peppermint ice cream, and I’ve never found another that comes close to matching that wonderful flavor.

I actually lived with Gonzalo not too long ago. I was friends with his son Alex Perez and my mom worked for gonzalo on and off for twenty years. His food was good, but business did decline when he relocated and lost key staff members. He also didn’t spend enough family time with his son, and worked endless 14 hour days. He was a work-o-holic, not a good thing.

I believe that there were 2 or 3 Campbells Soup cans. Andy signed them all. Waht happened to the others?

This is grand. My dog, also a mutt, looking very much like Annie came to me needing a home. She also needs to greet everyone first. I am also a retired railroader.

There was this earlier photo that Cat posted that shows the building as well, albeit at night. Love the photo.
