I took advantage of the non-existant traffic & studio/tourist hordes & took some cool pics of Bob's Big Boy, all neon a-glowin' For those of you who don't know - it's America's oldest surviving Bob's, built in 1949 & designed by Wayne McAllister. It's actually the third Bob's to be built. And I work next door to it! For some daytime shots - go here: http://www.kenlarson.net/photos/california/historic/LA/code/bobsbigboy0.htm I stood in the middle of the street for this shot... Our office is peeking out behind the marquee, with a hint of blue neon on top. It was cool to see the interior without 5 kazillion people in there (it's a big tourist stop, we're near several studios).
