Those are a hoot and include Disneyland and other amusement places, too. There are all sorts of great links... Make me pine for the past... *Sweet Sigh*

I came by a couple of decent pictures of it not too long ago, but I didn't save the bookmark (I had to swap computers). I was Googling Googie. I never thought I'd grow up to say "I was Googling Googie" and have it actually mean something.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Hey Schmitty... I didn't recognize the chairs either, but the location is a goody!

Sambo's... Yep... Our one and only in Las Vegas went away in about 1980, I want to say. It was close to my family's home, so we used to go there for breakfast on the weekends regularly. I remember the pictures on the wall of Sambo and his tiger. It's pretty amazing that the restaurants lasted as long as they did - considering the early disappearance of the original Funny Face drink names, the Frito Bandito and Speedy Gonzalez.

The one I remember going to was in Carmel, CA. I loved the art work on the walls and the dollar sized pancakes My favorite picture in the Disneyland section is the one with the boy who has a big wad of gauze and tape on his knee. Boys! Thanks for the link wonderingalice, fun stuff

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I also was trying to figure out if that was supposed to be Alice, LOL!
