March 21st, 1962, Glenn Bell (no relation to Art) opened the first Taco Bell in Downey CA. I love Taco Bell #3 . 3 crunchy taco supremes with a pepsi! I wonder if it's still there?
I must say though that after watching this commercial I'm going to Carl's Jr. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xdGsKzmCgB0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
