They are = they’re. (!!!) They taught proper grammar in the ’60s!

Top a short stack with Lingonberries and there Swedish; pineapple and they’re Hawaiian; add some shredded potoatoes and they’re German. Lighten up the batter and voila they’re French!

In that same open-air Glendale mall, I remember (along with Swains and the markets), an Orange Julius place with the best burgers, and a dime store called Grants, which was along the lines of a Woolworths. I think there was a dry-cleaners there too.

Heh… they must’ve stamped them out of a mold and dropped them on open blacktop parking lots back in the day, because this one looks identical to the one on Atlantic Blvd. just north of the Pomona Fwy in Monterey Park.

It was razed and replaced by a Tower Records, which went out of business and is now a Walgreen’s or CVS I believe.

You would have loved the one-two architectural/coffee shop/kitsch punch back in the day, because just one block north was a Van de Kamp’s with the big windmill swirling around. It’s now a Carrows, sans windmill, but you can still see the general footprint of the old structure.

I see there are some different thoughts on the exact location of this IHOP. I wish I could help nail it down. I have a personal connection to IHOP and possibly this one in particular through my stepdad who spent about 40 years working in and owner/operating in stores in CA, MA, and VA! Also, his stepdad, was one of the first franchisees of IHOP and this one, if it still exists, may be one that he owns now or once did. Anyway, I love the shot and love that these slides are being saved and shared! Thanks Charles !!

I think it is the one in West Hollywood too! I was just there, and saw Martin Landau with his grandson! Loved meeting you at the film festival in Hollywood.

Charles:

Thanks for name-checking Howard Johnson’s. I know they did have a presence here on the west coast, but nothing like the northeast. Memories of their Tuesday night All-you-can-eat fried fish special! ($2.95!) But we had to eat quick to make it home in time for Hollywood Squares! We also went to IHOP, but not nearly as often.

Keep digging through those crates.

I’m going to second the vote for Glendale, next to Swain’s and across from Virgil’s. It’s still there, and it still looks the same.
