A little further west along Riverside drive is Patys Coffee House, another googie-style coffee shop which, unfortunately, has been remodeled over the years. However, the sign retains all of its original character.

From the street the Tonga Hut's Tiki decoration is a lot more impressive.
Up close, it's a bit of a disappointment.

you may recognize the Circus Liquor Clown's terrifying visage

I've driven by Leon's numerous times over the last 5 years, but never
had a camera with me. I've never eaten there, because frankly the place looks creepy no matter how classic the signage.
The patrons were arriving for breakfast when I was there taking photos, and many of them looked like they had been going to Leon's since the place opened.

(12/28/2008 - Leon's has since been demolished)
