Per this website that lists every business in the city! Even the wacky neighbor who bought my Buttonwillow land is listed.

At 106 Front Street - wonder if there's any connection to the old Roma Cafe? Mighty coincidental that they used the same word, Roma, not really a common name for a business.

Well, if they sell liquor - they need an ABC license. Unless they brew it in the back room. (Bubble, bubble, bubble.)

License search reveals:

Ki Sik Song owned the place years ago, the license was withdrawn.

Looks like Mister Ister gave up the business. But that's about all I could find right now.

Hey, Jay - or anyone - ever SEE the Buttonwillow? I have - it's still there!
