Off Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood is a former coffee shop now converted
into a Mel's Drive-in back in 1997. This
Mel's location was once a Ben Frank's, which was a famous location that
closed down in the mid-1990's after being open since 1959. Fortunately, Mel's has maintained the googie
structure has been a 24 hour hot spot on its own.

Here's the other Jack's in Whittier, called Jack's Whittier Restaurant all lit up for business.
By the looks of things, Jacks is pretty well known for its flavorful fried
chicken, not to mention its neon marquee! Jack's Whittier is the first of the two restaurants named Jack's. Opening in 1933, Jack's received a refresh in 1959.
