     Richard – so how was the food at Ah Fong’s? I’m guessing it was pretty good if you went there most nights!

   Loved them both. Greenblatt us across the street from Bank of America where my Mom worked as a teller in the 60s. Lots of memories. Ah Fongs was great for take out too on Fri ights. Was fun growing up in Hollywood.

     Hi Donna, and thanks for your note. Someone else recently said the same thing to me – that Ah Fongs was great for Friday night take-out. I guess they must have done a roaring trade on Friday nights!

   So is this picture supposed to be from the 1920s or just the building is? Ah Fong’s didn’t open until the mid-late 1940’s. 1946 was when the first one opened.

     Thanks for pointing that out, Scott. The building is from the 1920s but the photo itself is, of course, much later. So I’ve edited this post so that it’s clearer.
