Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Since the end of World War I everything in Southern California - where to eat, shop, spend a family afternoon - has been directly influenced by the advent of the automobile and serving the motorist.
As part of the Automobile Club of Southern California's Greatest Hits Maps series, this one-of-a-kind map guide reveals the intriguing pasts of some of the lasting roadside treasures that have enticed and enchanted motorists for generations.
Grab a burger and fries at the earliest surviving Bob's Big Boy; climb to the top of the four-story Cabazon Dinosaur(featured in the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure); or how about a night's respite in the Wigwam Motel where every room is shaped like a giant tepee.
A must for fans of nostalgia and architecture!
