(Below) Lisa's Coffee Shop features an old style marquee and eye catching paint job on the restaurant itself. Serving breakfast and lunch, this joint is typical of the neighborhood eatery which is now becoming rarer and rarer, not like a steak.
Check out this Denny's in Arcadia, formerly one of the Van de Kamp's Bakeries and restaurants that used to dot the southland. Although this Denny's received the trimming to make it into a diner, the windmill is still left intact.
An old coffee shop, this Spires in Wilmington lost its huge marquee recently, a sign that used to catch the attention of truckers and travelers alike.
In Granada Hills is a good example of the IHOP A-frame restaurant building. IHOP aka the International House of Pancakes opened in Toluca Lake, California in 1958. The last of the famous A-frame buildings--IHOP's signature look--was built in 1983.
Don's Coffee Shop in Burbank opened in 1947 as a drive-in restaurant with a car hop. Brenda (bottom photo right side) worked at Don's for over 30 years. Lillie (left side) started there as a car hop when she was just sixteen and celebrated her 50th anniversary just as Don's was closing to make way for the new Japanese cuisine restaurant that will take its place. Don's two famous neon chefs will be displayed at the Burbank Historical Society and Museum of Neon Art. Many thanks to Adriene Biondo for both photos and info of Don's. (Below) Here are more photos of Don's
