Here's
an original Tastee Freez. Located in Perris, drop by Tastee for a burger,
taco, or shake. It's on Fourth Street and Perris Boulevard and practically
screams 70s right down to the A-frame building! Many thanks to Ralph Squillace for info.

Here's a good reminder of the era where a good lookin' sign was almost
as important as the food served within. Queens Fine Food features a rather unique sign featuring an interesting queen character
carrying a hot dish. Check out the colors on this sign,which scream 60's/70's.
Unfortunately, this restaurant may not be around forever, judging by the
fencing around it. 03-05

Here's a Taco Tio Hamburgers with its trademark cactus sign. Yep,
just how many businesses can boast of both an easy off and on ramp.
That sign is located right off the 5 freeway (just like the sign says)
in La Mirada, CA. It isn't a restaurant anymore. I don't think it's been
a restaurant since the 80's. It's now a used work truck lot. Many thanks to Stefanie Apel for above info.
