Two sites which should be interesting to the twentieth
century archaeologist and popular culture devotee are:
1. The "early" McDonalds Restaurant at Downey with its
great "Speedee" signpost is a great stop and a very
fortuitous survival of the "candy stripers" golden arch
hamburger stands which once defined American streetscapes. In
Downey, an LA suburb.

2. The Watts Towers. Another fortuitous survival showing what
one visionary artist can achieve. A Must!
