You're hitting all my faves. I love that 76 gas station

Ha! You hit one of my top 5! The TWA Flight Center

Excellent research and presentation. Is it the Einstein Tower of our time or is it just another Brown Derby? Like most of the “iconic”things in LA, it is meaningless.

Meaningless and yet so full of meaning in its aspiration!
