(San Diego, Texas 6/26/09) For more than 50 years, San Diego resident Adam Galvan has been serving up Mexican food inside Jerry's Diner.

But for much of Friday afternoon, the owner was forced to shut his doors after his son whose planning to remodel the place, he was cleaning out a storage room of items left behind by old tenet, and discovered a box filled with explosives. He called police.

 The box approximately 6 inches high by 18 inches, was filled with blasting caps.

Law enforcement tell 3 News the blasting caps are used primarily to detonate dynamite, but they do have some gun power in them and they could go off with heat, movement, and even static electricity."

San Diego police evacuated homes and businesses around the diner, and called in the Corpus Christi Police Department's bomb squad.

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
