The freeways back to Long Beach were a mess, and I was on company time :D, so I ended up coming back Valley Blvd all the way up to Rosemead Blvd, and then Rosemead back, about a 90 minute drive though the cities of Industry, El Monte, Rosemead, Pico Rivera, and Downey. There is still a lot of Googie and Mid-Century out there, in these little cities that time has forgotten. I wished so bad that I had my camera with me to take pictures of some of the signs and buildings along the way. Take pictures people...if it looks cool to you, it looks like a site for a future Coffee Bean/Bed Bath and Beyond/Jamba Juice to a developer and like an eyesore to the local city councils.
