LobsterboyX posted:The BBQ joint has been open since 46 - the original spokesman for the place was Tennessee Ernie Ford, and the owner of this place went on to make much more money with his other restaurant Coco's - the business was recently bought after the currnet owner wanted to retire by a group... they claim they are going to keep it the same, but time will tell. I offered my design services for free to preserve this place for generations. You eat sixteen ribs, and what do you get?

The other thread is a “post pics you found” thread; the Komet appears to be in a store but I don’t have any additional context. I can ask the person who posted it though.

Looking at the Wikipedia page, I would be very interested in hearing about the Gilmore Guys. I will also make it a point to hit Lawry's next time I'm in LA (November, maybe).

LobsterboyX posted:I could go on and on about LA spots! ever been to Pann's? Perhaps the most in tact 1950s diner in the world - the original owner Rina passed away at 102 years old only a few years ago, she was a regular staple at the counter every lunch time. Love this. I grew up in rural Tennessee, went to school in Atlanta, and have lived in the DC area ever since, and I just love all the neat little things in southern California every time I'm out there.

LobsterboyX posted:but its not big enough to make my other favorite depression era food "egg-in-a-hole" We did these in Boy Scouts but stuck a sausage link in there and called them "glory holes" because we were a crass troop and it's the height of comedy when you're 14.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with a one-two punch like that. Be well and remember the good times and long friendship you had with Frank.

LobsterboyX posted:I've been going to these for many years for just about anything you need, and I realize that I am extremely spoiled having so many of these specialty businesses within a 10ish mile circle- southern california was a hotbed for aerospace, and a lot of the areas were built on the back of aerospace - these little specialty shops are quite amazing.. This is something I feel about Southern California in general, that I can find anything there if I just look long enough. I'm sure many large cities are like that, but in the US I've only felt that electric sense of possibility in LA.

LobsterboyX posted:I tried to have our wrap party at the neon graveyard where they filmed the ending of Mars Attacks but they're talking about some of this new fangled meow wolf crap I did the neon museum and Omega Mart on the same day last time i was out there. OM is really neat and well-crafted if you take the time to do and read EVERYTHING but I was in there for four hours and could have probably been there another two. Get the pass card, you're locked out of some of the story without one. Neon Museum is definitely more your speed if this thread is any indication though.

I'm sure you have a baseball card expert in your trusted friend group so get with that person to evaluate and unload them, a cursory eBay search indicates that Mantle card is an easy five figgies by itself but there are a bunch of ways to get taken to the cleaners in baseball card land.
