Here’s a pocket of LA history I wish I hadn’t missed out on: the corner of Sunset Blvd and Crescent Heights at the time when the southeast corner was home to both Schwab’s pharmacy and the Googie’s Coffee Shop whose quirky angles lent its name to a whole architectural style that became a distinctive addition to the Southern California landscape.
My grandparents lived right down the street and took me and my brother there many times. They had the usual coffee shop booths that I remember but I don’t remember anything special except the chocolate malts.
It looks so clean & fresh….. a inviting place. …My memories are of “Tea ” houses “Joe Lyon”s “???? Tea Houses… In 1960s England. ….
Enjoy your Coffee. …folks…enjoy the Xmas break …
Good luck for 2017…”.Slainte “….
There’s even a book about Googie’s
