Hopefully, it won't get torn down to make way for a strip mall. I lived about 4 blocks from here when I was in junior high back in the early 70s. Used to go roller skating at the now-closed Skate City next to OA, but had no idea OA was even there until 20 years later.
Is Jack's Salad Bowl still around? That was another Googie landmark I have fond memories of.
Hey Mr Bali,
I was wrong about Jack’s Salad Bowl. It was torn down about 10 years ago. Jack’s had about 3 restaurants in Whittier at one time. The only one left is approx. 1/2 mile west of Painter on the north side of Whittier Bl. Here is a pic of their sign, a couple of the recently remodeled interior and I could not omit a pic of one of those iconic 50’s revolving pie display cases.
Cheers
