Column: Hot dog eatery was known for owner’s snap

Windy C’s, the Upland restaurant known for its customer-is-always-wrong attitude, has closed. I couldn’t resist writing about that in Sunday’s column, along with Pomona time capsules, Herb Alpert in Rancho Cucamonga, Humble Harve Miller in Chino and the Claremont man who was in the studio audience when the “Jeopardy!” contestant who won 32 games in a row finally lost. Now how much would you pay?

Here’s my 2011 Windy C’s Restaurant of the Week (the comments are pretty good) and my 2015 post about the owner putting my photo on his celebrity wall. I guess now it’s just a private memento for him, or trash.
