Airplane Café, Ventura Blvd, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, 1927

Airplane Café, Ventura Blvd, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, 1927I guess if you stuck a pair of (too short) wings on either side and a propeller at the front, you get to call your joint the Airplane Café. Apparently this place was somewhere on Ventura Blvd, which is the longest road through the San Fernando Valley so it could have been in any of a dozen different areas. But it was around in the 1920s, so I’m guessing it was around the eastern end. I love that sign: REAL CHILI (as against fake?), GOOD COFFEE (as against bad?) and SPECIAL PREPARED HAMBURGER, which makes me wonder how many different ways is there to make hamburger?
