A TASTE OF THE PAST – APACHE LAND VILLAGE CAFE
The Apache Land Village Cafe was a local landmark for several decades, and many older residents will no doubt have fond memories of eating out there. Along with the adjoining Apache Land Shopping Center, the Cafe provided a colorful and welcoming spectacle on the corner of E Ash and S Hill Street, now the China Taste restaurant. Though sadly all long gone, the recent discovery of a vintage menu has provided a fascinating insight into the Cafe.
