Re: 1932 Drive-In, West Sunset Bld, LA
Thanks for sharing.
Yesterday, my wife and I ate at an In&Out Burger place on Sunset and Orange, about a mile away from where your picture was taken. I've never been to a more crowded In&Out. As much as I enjoy In&Out burgers, I would have gladly driven the extra mile to Carpenter's Sandwich drive in. Too bad it and it's 1932 customers are no longer there. By the way, my #3 combo meal came to $6 with taxes. Carpenter's prices are better. Last edited by Neil Mylar LakewoodCA; 07-18-2016 at 12:50 PM. |

If I had money and was in the proper climate, I build that drive-in exactly the way it was. Of course I think it would be an open invitation to drive-bys no matter where it would be located today.

Re: 1932 Drive-In, West Sunset Bld, LA
I may be wrong but the only place St Louis has that would be comparable still in operation would be Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard on old Route 66.
I've never been there but someday I will......... http://teddrewes.com/

Did the great depression not hit LA?
That's an amazing percent of late model cars for being during the middle of the depression. |
