Ship's Coffee Shop Sign

Ship%27s+Coffee+Shop+Sign

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.

Norm's Sign

Norm%27s+Sign

10/02/1999 - 470 North La Cienega Blvd, West Hollywood. Armet & Davis, Architects.

Several Norm's still exist around the Los Angeles area, with relatively unchanged exteriors. Foodwise, Norm's is greasy spoon all the way - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'll take Norm's over Denny's any day.
