Here is a photograph of the classic Ships,
La Cienega marquee with its recognizable rocket arrow pointing to
the heavens. It's hard to imagine that the Ships Coffee Shop Chain has now ceased
to exist.
Take a look at a neighborhood coffee shop. It's Darby's in the
San Fernando Valley. Reminiscent of many an old local coffee shop, Darby's still
stands tall.

Check out this huge neon sign out front the Acropolis Coffee Shop.
It's always nice to see these huge marquees in this day of local sign
ordinances.

Norma's Restaurant looks like it was an old Norm's or some other
coffee shop. Wonder what the original location name was.
