That boat-shaped restaurant it really neat looking. We have a boat-shaped restaurant in Southern California as well. Clearman's, which has a small chain of restaurants, is known for quirky architecture. I'll have to grab a photo of their location in La Mirada on my way to the museum. It's adjacent to The 5 Freeway, and has fake snow on the roof. Their location in San Gabriel is called "The Boat", and features a boat nestled up to the restaurant building. It was an actual mail boat between San Francisco and Alaska dating back to 1913, and was converted into a Clearman's restaurant in the 60s. It now sits next to their larger restaurant but is, I think, just a neat feature and not functional.
A bit far for me to ride, but I eat there once a year, at least. On the last Sunday of the year, there's a rally for antique cars (anything pre-1932) that runs through the Pasadena and San Gabriel area, down Colorado Blvd along the Rose Parade route, and ends at The Boat restaurant for lunch. I usually hitch a ride with one of my vintage car friends.
If Mrs. G doesn't want to come with me to the museum this Saturday and I ride, I'll snag a pic of an interesting nautically-themed building in L.A.'s industrial area that's pretty famous.
Tev, interesting markings on that motorcycle parking area. Here in California, our motorcycle parking areas are typically striped dianonally in white, suggesting narrow parking spaces for motorcycles.
