Haunting of the Nut Tree Restaurant: Vacaville
Haunting of the Nut Tree Restaurant: Vacaville
8/1/2015: The famous Nut Tree Restaurant in Vacaville, CA no longer exists. It was rumored that San Francisco Mayor Joseph L. Alioto through an article in Look Magazine (9/23/1969 Issue) had ties to the Mafioso Jimmy Fratianno of the West Coast Mafia. Alioto sued the magazine for libel and won a $450,000 judgment. In the course of the litigation, Alioto proved that Look took desperate measures because they wanted a hot story, since they were on the brink of bankruptcy.
Look Magazine without any proof claimed that there was an alleged mob meeting in Vacaville, California at the Nut Tree Restaurant between Alioto and Fratianno. It was later shown that Nixon was behind this mishap of news. Documents showed that the Nixon administration leaked disinformation to the magazine in order to stall his career.
Darren Hyde of American Canyon says that one night he was walking past the train ride and saw a man in a trench coast and brim hat walk past him. The man stopped and approached him. The man asks: Where is Jack Dragna? I told him, I didn't know a Jack Dragna. The man looked surprised and then simply vanished right in front of me. I was scared as all hell, I could not believe I just saw a ghost! I Googled Jack Dragna and discovered he was once an under boss for the West Coast Mafia or Los Angeles Mafia.
Special Note: If the ghost of a mafia made man haunts the grounds where Nut Tree Restaurant stood, that tells me that the West Coast Mafia probably did meet at the Nut Tree Restaurant. I seriously doubt that Alioto met with the mafia, but who knows? West Coast mobster Fratianno was rumored to frequent the Nut Tree, see information about that at the bottom of this article.
Many celebrities ate there, let's see who has frequented this restaurant: Ronald Reagan when he became California governor in 1967, in fact Ronald Reagan had to take the kid's train ride around the establishment. Richard Nixon has been at the Nut Tree and other celebrities like Danny Kaye, Lawrence Welk, Shirley Temple Black, Peter Marino, Hopalong Cassidy and Bing Crosby. On March 4, 1983 Nut Tree catered a luncheon hosted by CA Governor George Deukmejian for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip at the State Capitol.
Special Note: I once met Hopalong Cassidy in 1958, at a parade in Fresno, California. Hopalong jumped off his horse and picked me up and held me in the air.
The Nut Tree grew as US 40 became Interstate 80. At its peak, it contained a restaurant, an outdoor eatery, a bakery, a gift shop, a toy shop, the Nut Tree Railroad that gave rides from the toy shop to the airport, and an airport, which is now owned and operated by Solano County. It was a welcome rest stop on the road between Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. Throughout the year, kids enjoyed giant frosted honey cookies (personalized on request), the numerous Hobby Horses rocking horses and riding the train.
Submitted by Bea of Vacaville: I worked at a store at the Nut Tree restaurant area and we experienced all kinds of paranormal activity at this store. Cabinets opening up on their own. Footsteps are heard throughout the store, when no one is around. I believe the entire area is haunted because I have a son who worked across the street at a different store in this complex, and they were also experiencing odd unexplained movements. This town must have secrets and the Nut Tree is probably filled with secrets that these ghosts are aware of and they haunt this area to protect those secrets.

Even though these high end stores are popping up, there are still a lot of people who want to get their sex information and toys online and there are some interesting statistics that go with that. For example in
the UK and Canada people search for sex toys more often than they doing the United States and even though there are more people online in the US as far as the demand for sex toys go, we're still catching
up with the rest of the world.

Well there's the idea of selling cheap lingerie and making women almost seem demeaning and that's kind of the culture that we live in right now especially with the younger generation so with this idea of exquisite pieces at a higher end it gives a quality to a woman of being respected and beautiful and elegant and not only that but respecting her own body so that men perceive her as someone who has confidence and elegance so it's a totalling different idea and I think it's something that we should embrace and not be afraid of.

I like that this place. It's chic and when you walk in you feel cool and you don't feel dirty like the other sex shops. It doesn't smell bad. You don't want to go take a bath in bleach when you get out of there and it's a hot place to come.
