Dinah's Family Restaurant, 6521 South Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. A family restaurant in business since 1959, and famous for their fried chicken. The restaurant has a classic Googie exterior.
I am going to have to go back some day and run 95th Street some more, great signage every few blocks.
Designed by Arthur Moss, the Penguin Arms is one of the buildings mentioned in the first article about googie architecture. It's located at 2902 Revere St.
4508 W Slauson Ave, Los Angeles, Windsor Hills neighborhood.
The building was designed by the architectural firm Armet & Davis for the Wich Stand drive-in/restaurant that opened in 1958. This example of Googie architecture was declared a historic landmark by the Los Angeles County in 1988. Today it is a restaurant called Simply Wholesome.

This historic googie style restaurant in Downey CA started out as Harvey's Broiler in 1958 and then was renamed Johnies Broiler in 1968 during a change in ownership, since it's beginning the broiler was a car club favorite and a destination until it closed in 2001, for the next few years it was leased and used as a used car dealership gradually falling into disrepair until January 7, 2007 when the lessor at that time did an illegal demolition bulldozing the place, some concerned local citizens called the police and the demolition was halted but not before much of the original structure was destroyed, the city of Downey supported the efforts of preservationists and the local community and the restaurant was rebuilt with the help of Downey's Redevelopment Agency and the Downey Historical Society, it then was leased in April 2008 to Jim Louder, owner of another Bob's Big Boy and the broiler rose from the wreckage in 2009 rebuilt and incorporating the remaining bits of the original building and the car clubs and cruisers came back
If your in the area stop in and have a bite at this restaurant that's been featured in several popular movies and TV shows
This was a six- then eight-theater multiplex that was in business for at least 40 years. I saw "Star Wars" here, and probably "Empire" too. As the neighborhood demographic aged in the 90s, it saw attendance dwindle. Also, the theater was slow to adopt stadium seating that was in newer theaters in the far west part of town. When it closed, I think only two of the eight theaters had it. I always liked the sign - and only recently have I realized how googie it really is. The neon was white. Shame this is closed now. Would love to see this sign lit up again on a summer night.
