Vintage Photo Friday
Title: Dolores Drive-In on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles, Calif., 1980. Publication: Los Angeles Times. Publication date: May 28, 1980
Dolores Drive-In on Wilshire @ LeDoux in Beverly Hills was my teenage hangout. I spent many fond hours gobbling down J.J.' s with extra Z-sauce; Suzy-Q fries and Cherry Lime Rickeys. Hey Larry, check out that Ford Falcon Ranchero! Looks like a 1964 to me. Today, you have to get your Jumbo Jim fix at West LA's Dolores.
Title: Ships Coffee shop and high rise building at corner of Glendon Ave. and Wilshire Blvd. in Westwood, Calif., 1984. Published caption: Coffee shop sign and the high-rise buildings that now dominate the Westwood scene. Publication: Los Angeles Times. Publication Date: September 21, 1984.
Ship's! Everyone remembers the toasters on all the tables. I remember the Mannings beef and the superior ice-cream sundaes. I know who nabbed the cool sign from this Ship's. Lucky guy!

I remember those Suzy Q Fries and WHO can forget the toasters at the table???
Have a great weekend.
Hmm. West LA's Dolores may have the same name (food, etc.), but it certainly doesn't have the same visage as old time BH Dolores! Man, that looks great.
Have a great weekend!
The vintage photo of the Mother & Daughter in the kitchen just made me have the giggles, I wonder what color that wallpaper was.
Ellen, thanks for the Ships photo. It brought back a lot of memories. I went to UCLA in the late 70's. Every time my mother would come over to visit, we'd go to Ships and have toast!
Ellen, I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog, even as an LA ex-pat. It's so positive and interesting! I don't know how you know about all this cool stuff, but I'm glad you share it with us!

my brother has a '64 Ford Falcon Ranchero that he's in the process of restoring. Love the old cars!!!
Ships was a great hangout during my art school days. I remember the toasters that would shoot bread across the room almost - don't think they were supposed to work that way. Quite a few sleep deprived late nights, shooting toast at my studio-partner. Oh my, memory-lane time
