Jack Colker's 76  Est. 1965

Adriene Biondo

Masterfully designed in 1965 by the architectural firm of William L. Pereira & Associates, the Union Oil Service Center was originally intended as part of the LAX Airport site. With its wide sweeping canopies and futuristic lines, it is an amazing icon of space age architecture, still in operation right here in Beverly Hills. Not to be missed! Adriene Biondo

Johnie's Broiler  Est. 1958   more photos...

Designed by Paul B. Clayton. Johnie's Broiler opened back in 1958 as Harvey's Broiler. It was designed in the 50's drive-in restaurant style with lighted boomerang canopy and flamboyant signage visible to cars traveling on the busy thoroughfare of Firestone Boulevard. A true Southern California car culture landmark, Johnie's was a favorite cruising destination, often clocking 5,000 classic cars per weekend during its heyday. Currently leased to a used car tenant. Officially declared eligible for the California State Register of Historical Resources in November 2002. For more information and vintage photos, visit http://www.johniesbroiler.org Adriene Biondo.
