This is an epitaph for a time of life before. A time of life when we could take our children downtown to an event and get their faces painted and ride tiny rides and eat popcorn, corn dogs and barbecue and listen to live music and dance around being silly. I never would have imagined writing this epitaph when a small group from the Morgan Hill Downtown Association joined together in our office above what was then the Coffee Roasting Club in the 1980s to start the Taste of Morgan Hill. An event that was developed to focus on our unique restaurants downtown and Morgan Hill craftspeople, it was special and low key, one could almost say intimate.
