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.
Johnie's Coffee Shop Restaurant
2 Oct, 1999
10/02/1999 - I was sad to hear that Johnie's closed its doors earlier this year. Originally called "Romeo's Times Square", Johnie's is located at the intersection of Wilshire and Fairfax in Los Angeles.
Johnie's: Side Sign Detail
2 Oct, 1999
10/02/1999 - Fairfax at Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles. Armet & Davis, Architects.
A stylish Coffee Shop sign decorates Armet & Davis' characteristically slanting roof along Fairfax ave. A potential point of interest to film buffs: A scene from the Coen Brothers' film The Big Lebowski was filmed inside Johnie's.

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.
