Muffler Man
26 Sep, 1999
09/26/1999 - Sherman Way near Sepulveda Blvd, Van Nuys, California.
Much has been written about Muffler Men, but I've only seen three in the wild. You may have noticed the Muffler Man who shows up briefly in the opening credits of The Sopranos.
This one lives outside an oil change & lube shop... his muffler is long gone, and for some reason his kerchief has been painted black in the two years since this photo was taken.
Mission Hills Bowl (I)
26 Sep, 1999
09/26/1999 - 10430 Sepulveda Boulevard, Mission Hills. Martin Stern, Jr., Architect.
A perfect example of how haphazard remodeling dilutes great googie buildings, often to the point where they attain 'eyesore' status and get torn down. I don't know what color the building and perforated girders were originally, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't STARK WHITE. And it's also probably safe to assume the original Mission Hills Bowl sign looked more like this.
