CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

I was on the way to work today when I took the picture earlier, so I didn’t have much time to elaborate.

The picture is in the parking lot of the Proud Bird restaurant, located on Aviation Blvd, which makes the Eastern border of Los Angeles Airport (LAX). It’s got an aviation theme, and planes landing fly right over it.

Back in my advertising days, when we had high dollar clients come to town, we’d take them there right from the airport. This was in the days of lavish expense accounts…

It closed a while back, but I had heard that it reopened, so I stopped to check it out on the way to the museum this morning.

The picture with the fence in the background is the other side of Aviation Blvd. You’ve seen it in the movies… in every 80s and 90s Brian De Palma film set in L.A., there’s an obligatory shot of an airliner touching down into a sunset, on the other side of this fence.
