Safari Inn Sign

12/26/2001 - A closer shot of the Safari Inn's sign, taken from underneath the sun deck.

Note the inward-curving sides of the swimming pool, matching the shape of the sign.

Unfortunately, the desk clerk told me I couldn't actually go up on the deck to take photographs. I'm not sure whether it was a liability issue, or if they thought I was going to be somehow profiting from it. Places around Los Angeles are sometimes cagey about letting you take photos without some kind of release. They didn't say anything when I was shooting from the ground, though.

Safari Inn - 1911 West Olive St, Burbank, California

A wonderfully preserved sign presides over the classic 1950's motel, which you may recognize as one of the filming locations for True Romance. Be sure to visit 8 Ball, a retro clothing and accessories store located across the street.
