Here is the Lyons Restaurant on the corner of El Camino
Ave and Watt Ave in Sacramento. It closed in 2004, and now this beauty of
Googie style sits waiting. This is as it appears October 2005 and may
eventually be torn down. Ironically, a graffiti artist has painted the
word "HOPE" on the side kitchen door. 10-05

Here's the Hunter's Grill of Yuba City. This coffee
shop was once a Sambo's Restaurant. The side view looks like a polygon
version of a boomerang. Many thanks to Mark Fahey
for the Sambo's ID.
UPDATE 11/17 : The Hunter's Grill in Yuba City closed down and is now home to a Waffle Barn restaurant. 11-17

The Country Waffles looks like an old mid-century coffee shop from the outside. Setting foot into the interior brings you into a dining area that very well could have been an old 60's coffee shop hangout.
Below are more images of the front facade and interior of the Country Waffles. 11-05

IHOP

Here are some pictures of a classic International House of Pancakes building on El Camino Ave. in Sacramento. It is across the street from the Lyons building. Although it has been remodeled some, it still does have that classic IHOP look to it. 06-06
