First of all, thanks for the kind words about my website, SpaceAgeCity.com.

My short answer to your question: Googie is exaggerated 1950s/60s Modern architecture, designed for the roadside. It was frequently used for coffee shops, bowling alleys and car washes, and looks like it would fit right into an episode of The Jetson's.

Of course, it's a lot more complicated than that,... but you get the idea.
