the proud bird
Los Angeles, CA
Let me set the scene. It's 2014, and we've just landed at LAX and picked up our rental car. We're there for the opening night of our Sign Geeks gallery show in Pomona, where for the first time, I'll have photographs on display in an art gallery (and I am blessed that it wasn't the last time either).
It's the first time I've been in California since the 1960s when I was a child, and the first-time-ever for my husband. Shortly after leaving the car lot, we drive by this sign and I can officially check it off as one of the first of almost 2000 photos I would take on our whirlwind three-night stay as we roadtripped around Los Angeles County. And it was the first sign of the trip.
The sign doesn't look like this anymore. And I've just read online that The Proud Bird is no longer a restaurant where you can relax and have a drink or meal and watch the planes take off from LAX, but is now the "Proud Bird Food Bazaar" -- an events centre and food hall.
For the times, they are a-changin'.
