SSS.... I'd eat there.

Same question: Any idea where? And when?

 

[Ghostsoldier]

Not sure, as I've farmed the images off of the internet.... maybe a Google search would be able to pinpoint the snack shop?

Bingo! It was in Los Angeles.

"Night view of Spencers Snack Shops Inc., located at 4210 W. Olympic Blvd. A car is parked outside the entrance and a few customers are seated at the counter inside."

It's funny though, when I saw this pic and the date, I was thinking that in less than five years, those girls or their, say, 1969 equivalents might be standing there in short shorts and halter tops - how fast the world changed in the late '60s.

Don't forget the gogo boots.

I haven't been out there for years, but it used to be that you drove for hours approaching Warp's from either direction being reminded nearly constantly by billboards that Pioneer Village was only XXX miles away!

I actually saw the diving horses once. Given that it is considered cruelty in some places to have animals that don't live in the house, I can't imagine the reaction to mule and horse diving.
