Harry Carpenter’s Drive-Ins were at several locations around Los Angeles, including corner of Sunset and Vine, Wilshire and Western, Wilshire and Vermont, Pico and Vermont, Silverlake and Glendale, Sunset and Virgil.
Thanks, drive ins always bring back fond memories. My mom worked for a number of years at Simon’s Drive In which was located in Five Points in El Monte. She worked the fountain most of the time. I remember one time when my mom came home from work with buckets and buckets of Shrimp. It turned out that a truck carrying a load of shrimp turned over in an accident and dumped its load on Valley Blvd. I used to ride the Pacific Electric Red Car from Baldwin Park CA to school in El Monte CA.
