Downey, CA - Tremendous progress is being made on the rebuild for Bob's Big Boy Broiler! I took these construction pix this afternoon so that we can all watch as the building is constructed. On Friday a crane hoisted a massive 60 foot beam into place, and over the weekend the steel framework was assembled and wood framing started going up. It's surreal to be there in person and realize how amazing it is that this project is actually happening. Is there anyone out there who's rebuilding a 1950s Googie drive-in restaurant from the original blueprints?! Stay tuned, more to come. See the latest photos from May 11, 2009 here.
