Marie Callender's is a good place to stop for some a pseudo home cooked meal. Their pies are something to behold with a nice thick flaky crust. This sign is also something to behold. It looks like someone's old apron with the "curtain" look. This location is on Whittier Boulevard in La Habra.

UPDATE 11/05 : The sign has been replaced with the latest backlit plastic type of sign. 11-05
