Leon's Steak House, North Hollywood, CA

            During my errand to Reseda, I drove over to North Hollywood and along the way I found this old restaurant.  It had closed a couple days before, and would soon be bulldozed to make way for a CVS pharmacy.

I Photoshopped this image to make it seem more the way the San Fernando Valley looked to me when I lived there: bright and garish and sun-washed, with massive stained asphalt parking lots and googie lounges and restaurants and donut shops jostling each other.

It's not really like that anymore.  These days it looks a lot like Orange County or the San Gabriel Valley or any other part of Southern California, with a Starbucks and a Burger King at every corner.
