Morgan Hill

Morgan Hill is a city in Santa Clara County, California, at the southern tip of Silicon Valley, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Morgan Hill is primarily an affluent residential community for Silicon Valley, as well as the seat for several high-tech companies. Morgan Hill is a prominent dining, entertainment, and recreational destination in Silicon Valley, owing to its Michelin-star chefs,[1] luxury hospitality, nature parks, wineries, and the numerous noteworthy events the city hosts, such as the Tour of California (the only cycling World Tour in the USA en par with the Tour de France).[2][3][4][5] According to Forbes, Morgan Hill is one of the most expensive places to live in the United States.[6][7] Business Insider ranked Morgan Hill as the 17th most expensive housing market in the United States, owing to its concentration of wealth and restrictive growth policies.[8][9]

• The Capri, 18625 Monterey St, ☎ [phone]. Used to be a hot spot in the 50s as a restaurant, place to dance, and a bar. The Capri was closed and has been the host to many different restaurants. Later it was turned into a Mexican restaurant called "El Capri". After El Capri closed a single taco cart going by the same name sat outside the vacant building until they moved to San Martin (just south of Morgan Hill on Monterey Rd.). Now the building that once was a hot spot in the 50s where people went to dance, drink and eat(such as my grandparents), it sits vacant. This historic landmark is certainly an eye catcher and is sad to see it not being used.
