Check out this Palm Springs style bank in Manhattan Beach on Pacific Coast Highway, which is a former Coast Federal and now a Washington Mutual. The reflecting pools have been replaced with river washed stone but it still looks great!

The Donut Hole in Industry. Where else can you not only drive-up and grab a bag of donuts, but drive through a donut to get there? Well worth a stop, even if you don't like donuts. Besides, you can always grab a cup of coffee! See this example of programmatic architecture and more at Roadside Peek's Roadside Vernacular Southern California.

With a name like the Half Moon Inn, this place has great potential. The look of the entrance is superb and there are a lot of Tikis inside. See more of the roadside tiki places at Roadside Peek's Roadside Tiki Southern California.
