This one is the Beverly Hills Brown Derby at the corner of Wilshire Blvd and Rodeo Dr in 1955. The shot is fairly grainy, so I\u2019m guessing this was a postcard or perhaps a still from movie. Either way, I\u2019ll take it because it reminds me that the big derby-shaped sign on top of the building was an eye-catching red color. And the scaffolding it sits atop is almost as tall as the building itself. Apparently, the busiest night of the week for this location was Thursday, which was the traditional maid’s night off.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql oi732d6d ik7dh3pa ht8s03o8 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\" lang=\"en\">Roughly the same angle in March 2021<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23404\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/martinturnbull.com\/2021\/10\/11\/brown-derby-restaurant-at-the-corner-of-wilshire-blvd-and-rodeo-dr-beverly-hills-1955\/march-2021-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?fit=1210%2C670&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1210,670\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?fit=300%2C166&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?fit=640%2C354&ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23404\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?resize=640%2C354&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?resize=1024%2C567&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?resize=300%2C166&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?resize=768%2C425&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/march-2021.png?w=1210&ssl=1 1210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not every day that I find a color shot of a Brown Derby restaurant from back in the day, so this one is a bit of a treat.
