On our last MONA (Museum of Neon Art) Neon Cruise post, I left you at the Chapman Market near Koreatown. Disneyland fans might find this building a bit familiar, especially if they compare it to Off the Page in Disney California Adventure:
The drive-in Chapman Park Market opened in 1929 and was one of the first markets in the western U.S. designed for the automobile. Today it thrives with chic Korean shops, restaurants, coffeehouses, and clubs.
OK readers...let's bring it on home! A few more shots as the double decker bus made its way through Saturday night traffic to show us what's left of the glorious vintage neon that once burned brightly throughout Los Angeles. The Gaylord Building (I'm not touching that one).
The Bryson, made famous by author Raymond Chandler:
Park Wilshire:
What's left of the Westlake Theatre sign. Please fix!!
Those beautiful light standards of Wilshire Boulevard:
And what better place to stop after your Neon Cruise than Clifton's Cafeteria, which looks even more splendid at night!
I HIGHLY recommend you check out the MONA (Museum of Neon Art) Neon Cruise for yourself!
