Oops.. i meant 4th and Soto (across from the old Sears bldg).. i was thinking of another place.

i didn't like the N Hollywood one very much, the skin was good, but otherwise it wasnt very good. The Boyle height one is much better.

actually this interesection is Soto & Olympic......Soto & Fourth is a bit north of the Sears Builiding......

speaking of the sears building it's my undertanding that this building will be renovated sometime in the near future and will be made into Lofts as in Downtown.

i know it's near the Sears building.. i know how to get there, but i never know the address.

As far as the building.. i think that's on hold.. i heard rumors about it, but making it earthquake safe is what is holding it up.. that's what i heard.

that's sounds right because i heard talk of this project some time ago...but nothing else has been said about it recently.

I remember going to a Pioneer Chicken in the east coast when I was a little lad. I looked up the Wiki entry and saw the remaining locations. Sad.

Hmm.. the Vermont one isn't listed. I should check if it's still there.

thought they were a thing of the past...vintage fast food of the 70's...... :bonk:

i think they were around til the early 90's.. the one 2 blocks from my house didn't close til at least 1991.. cause i was already in high school when Popeye's took over.

i still remember the icon, or mascot to that place...some chef looking dude in a wagon or something...

maybe they want to take popeye out for a spin and take over again. :nut:
