If and when I do return to L.A., a lot of the mid-century landmarks I got used to driving past every day will probably have disappeared. I never saw Almegac's (pictured here), but it is apparently among the latest places to shut down.

They disappear without a trace... since the major roads of the entire L.A. basin basically form one continuous strip mall, things have a way of getting swallowed up gradually.
