SO LONG BEACH

Usually after Long Beach I stop at The Kettle restaurant in Manhattan Beach for a late breakfast. This time though I stayed late and just went to King Taco. I first went to a King Taco when I went to the Cypres Museum downtown L.A., there's one up the street. It's a 20 chain outfit in L.A. and an interesting place, huge and very busy...fast food format, cavernous, bigger than a McDonalds with plenty of seating. Typically there are two to three lines 5 deep to put your order in. I like the Burritos best...tacos are a little small. Very clean places, clean parking lots too....I always see at least one security guard walking around, and I seem to recall they're pack'n. Taco Bell is for gringos, but King Taco is the real deal. When they ask if you want everything including the red sauce, be warned...their standard red sauce is hotter than most Mexican restaurants.

HEAD'N HOME

And then it was off for a seven hour drive over the grapevine and thru the hills back to the bay area. But I was anxious to stop and get on the internet to research Maurice Day the artist of the Beavers and Bunnies painting. By the time I got thru L.A. it was dark. I got off some exit near Magic Mountain and found a Starbucks. I got an eyeful. According to what I read, Maurice "Jake" Day was one of the Disney's oldest illustrators who drew Bambi and Dumbo. Bingo, I knew it looked quailty! So now that I'm home I'm looking further into it to learn more...stay tuned! At this point we've bonded, I really like this painting now. And that's a wrap for this week's Sports Antique of the Week Special feature. Thanks for coming along, below are shots of the trip.
