Ship's Coffee Shop Sign
20 Oct, 1999
10/20/1999 - Olympic Boulevard at La Cienega, Los Angeles, California.
The last remaining Ship's Coffee Shop in Los Angeles was torn down in 19951, the year before I arrived in Los Angeles. If it was anything like the photos I've seen of Ship's Westwood, which was also torn down about 10 years earlier, L.A. is a much emptier place for the loss.
A gas station occupies the former site of the restaurant.
