This neon sign was installed in 1967 and has the classic Googie style that was prevalent in this area at the time. The business changed ownership a few times and the neon was removed but the current owners added "Highland Park" at the top and reinstalled the neon in 2017. You can see it on North Figueroa Street in Los Angeles, CA

Buckle up space cadets because just like the sign, the building also has that great space age Googie style design with the futuristic looking staggered roof lines, aircraft wing and tail fin canopy and folded roof over the office. Built in 1962, this was the first in a chain of Astro motels built in several states. You can still stay in this one on East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, CA

When I saw this giant windmill looming over the horizon, I didn't expect to see a Denny's sign on the building. The building was originally built as a Van de Kamp's Holland Dutch Bakery. When the chain folded in the 1990's, Denny's acquired the building. They planned to remove the windmill but yielded to protests from the locals and kept it. They have restored and repaired it over the years and it's still spinning today. It's worth a drive by to see this quirky roadside remn

This store opened in the early 1950's, as a pioneering drive-through concept, by the Alta Dena Dairy Company. The blue paneled, star topped sign still stands as a reminder of that time. You can see it on Foothill Boulevard in Glendora, CA

The building was built in the 1920's as Wilson's Sandwich Shop, then La Paloma opened in 1966. The neon sign is a great example of signs from that time with it's googie style shapes, stars and bright colors. If you look closely, you can see the dove on the chef's sombrero on the sign as paloma is Spanish for dove. Stop in and sample some of Abuela Maria's recipes as the place is still operated by the same family. It's on Foothill Boulevard in LaVerne, CA
