The Hountalas family has been part of the Ocean Beach community since 1906. In 1919 Michael Hountals leased a candy and tobacco stand inside the Car Barn, the terminus for the street cars. In 1949 the Car Barn was destroyed by fire and in 1952 Mike acquired the Golden Gate View Coffee Shop next to the Sutro Baths. In 1941, when Dan was six years old, he started his own business selling peanuts outside of his father’s shop. In 1958 Dan opened the Cliff Chalet and in 1965 it was extensively remodeled and renamed Danny’s Cliff Chalet. In June of 1966 it burned down in the blaze that destroyed the Sutro Baths.
