Tiny Naylor's: The Hollywood Drive-In That Couldn't Be Saved

How many readers remember Tiny Naylor’s Drive-In? Motorists coming up to the northwest corner of Sunset and La Brea used to have one of Hollywood's most unique sights. There was a vast winged roof under which cars would gather around a restaurant that was brilliantly lit. Carhops in uniform would come out and serve you your meal. You could eat in your car, movie stars would come in and have their meal in their car, the teens would drive past hoping to see a celebrity and the hungry night owls would know they could have a meal at any time of the night. That was Tiny Naylor's Restaurant and Drive-In at 7101 Sunset Boulevard. It was one of the landmarks of Hollywood, as much a part of the Hollywood scene as the studios, the theatres and the nightclubs.

History hiding in plain sight: 10 signs that tell Downtown Long Beach’s story

Have you spotted some new signs around Downtown Long Beach and wondered what they’re all about? Turns out, they’re little windows into the city’s past! Installed by the City earlier this summer, ten historical markers scattered throughout Downtown and the Shoreline area highlight everything from notable city firsts to quirky, lesser-known moments in Long Beach history. Developed with research and archival photos compiled by Long Beach Public Library Special Collections Librarian Jeff Whalen, the signs offer a self-guided history tour hiding in plain sight. Next time you’re strolling Downtown, keep an eye out — you might learn something new about a place you’ve walked past a hundred times. And there’s more history to come, with plans to expand the signage throughout the city in future phases.
