For some reason, I was doing a search on Googie Architecture. Its that futuristic style of architecture. Don't really know it? Think Jetsons, and you'll have it. It was an architectural style that had its hayday in the mid to late 60's. Anyway, there are all kinds of Googie buildings still around. Most are now covered by historic preservation societies.
This restaurant is located in Rossmoor, California. It is designed to look like its namesake. Not only are the parasol ribs viewable on the outside of this round building, but on the inside as well. Additionally, there are parasols hanging from the ceiling. In case you are wondering, yes, I used to eat there when I live in Long Beach. Its a cute little restaurant that I am happy to say has recently been saved from demolition and still in business today.
This painting probably means more to me than it will to anyone who views it here, but I think its great. Enjoy.
