Damn! The stuff that's stored away in my sub-conscious. That "Big Fig Newton" song on the other thread was stored in there too and I didn't even know it.

The Felix Chevrolet thing was only seen when we'd drive into L.A. - but you couldn't miss it! Speaking of Felix - here's a weird attraction from Ocean Park Pier in the 1940's... http://www.christophermerritt.com/Blog/felix.jpg

P PiPhiRho Tiki Socialite San Diego Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 1032	P PiPhiRho Posted posted on Sat, Oct 2, 2004 2:31 PM The Bedspread Kingdom has a new king, the old King's son (or son-in-law). The old king was pretty old, and he either retired or croaked, and his family had taken over. The Bedspread Kingdom is just down the street from Worthington Ford (which doesn't really put this thread back on topic, but it gets it a little closer).

Before my wife and i bought our new truck from TOYOTA OF ORANGE! (did NOT get a lemon!) we decided to GO SEE CAL! The whole area is festooned with pictures of Mr. Worthington and his "dog" SPOT All happy ,friendly pictures..... Well, we saw a vehicle we wanted online and called and confirmed that it was there... Well, 2 hours later we're shown the truck that was online but it wasn't the same one!!!!
