The May Company, Wilshire and Fairfax, Los Angeles, 1977
Albert C Martin and SA Marx's 1939-40 May Company Wilshire was still bustling.here, and by this time it even had its own gasoline station. Like most of the prominent stores on the Miracle Mile and the Wilshire District, the store's main entrance was in the rear, the easier to accomodate shoppers who parked their cars in the vast lots. In 1993 May Department Stores absorbed the venerable JW Robinson's chain, and so this store was shuttered in favor of the Beverly Hills Robinson's.. Fortunately, it wasn't long afterward that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art annexed the building and took great care to preserve it. It is Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument #566. In October 2011 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in a joint project with LACMA, announced that the building would be the site for a new motion-picture museum,.
Johnies, built in 1955 as Romeo's Times Square and later the Rams Cafe, is always near the top of the list of Googie coffee-shop classics. It closed a decade ago, but it still attracts as much attention as if it were still operating. it looks the same and is, as is often said in Los Angeles, "available for filming."
