Wouldn’t it be amazing to visit one of LA’s original themed roadside attractions for an ice cream on a beautiful Sunday? These fanciful establishments dotted the landscape from the Teens through the Sixties— when they mostly fell into disrepair and the wrecking ball. They offered a momentary fantasy escape into the land of dreams and imagination. What a difference it would make if some of the boxes built now contained just an ounce of this creativity and playfulness to delight guests!

Happy Repeal Day! This muted celebration resonates more this year than ever before as more bars are closed in the country than since Prohibition itself—leaving employees, owners, landlords and patrons to fend for themselves during the pandemic. Hopefully soon we’ll all have something to celebrate and we can rebuild together! Please stay safe out there and do what you can to support local businesses and the employees who are struggling.

Own a piece of Living History! We have a limited number of original vintage historic Clifton’s Cafeteria trays available for sale by following the link in our profile! A weekend afternoon in Southern California used to be the perfect time to bring the family to Clifton’s Cafeteria where young and old could explore our fanciful forest themed fantasy environment. Though our cafeteria has been closed for two years, we’re excited for it to return after the Pandemic— with original classics like turkey and stuffing as well as pies, an array of salads and even Jell-O! Until then you can experience the wonder of Clifton’s at home with this amazing piece of history. Nearly 180 million guests have visited Clifton’s Brookdale location in its nearly 90 year history (an astonishing number!) The trays are approximately 30-50 years old and each shows its unique, individual wear and condition. Imagine what it’s seen and who used it— it could have been you— your parents— or grandparents!

Imagining the good old days when the elephant in the room was more than just a saying— when bars were serving stiff drinks to regulars and rubbing elbows didn’t mean someone was failing to follow social distancing guidelines. We’re saluting all the restaurants and bars struggling to survive— and all the people who make them special— that have literally become the elephants in the room. The ingredients of our history— the fabric of our neighborhoods and communities— is in danger of being extinguished. Let’s do what we can to support local businesses as they struggle for survival— order take out and delivery from your favorite places— tip well— all the while trying to imagine what “home” would be like without your favorite haunts.

Remember how magical Christmas shopping used to be? It was like entering a fantasyland of wondrous presents, lights, sights & music. Although this season is muted by the Pandemic, we’re lucky to live at a time when we can still visit our families via Zoom, shop for wondrous things across the globe, and share a common experience— despite being socially distant and isolated. Please explore our Exposition Marketplace to experience a bit of the magic of years past— as we feature an assortment of extraordinary curiosities from our many journeys and adventures. It may not be the same thing as visiting Santa at Bullock’s in 1937– but it’s certainly a start! Follow the link in our bio to start exploring!
