Perino's: New is Better

Because it is always better to tear down a historic location (top) and replace it with crappy apartments (bottom).

Top: Perino's restaurant's
second location at 4101 Wilshire, opened in 1950. The original Perino's, which opened in 1932 just up the street at 3927 Wilshire, closed when the second location opened. The second location closed in 1986 and the building was torn down in 2005.

Matt and I were fortunate enough to be able to visit the historic building on our second trip to Los Angeles together on 13 October 1996.
