Found this while looking for something else in the Google Books Life Magazine archives. It's a list of all IHOP locations in 1967. http://groceteria.com/forboard/ihop-1967.jpg Well, as far as the Michigan locations listed go... Detroit - Still standing, now some type of Lunch Buffet. The roof is no...

Seven years ago (when I was last there) there was a beautifully preserved one on Aurora Avenue in Seattle operating as the Aurora Restaurant. I heard somewhere it had closed, but I don't know for sure. Its interior seemed pretty much original. Doing a quick google search, its now Aurora Rents. They...

Yes. The San Bernardino's Carousel Mall store had, er still has, that Logo on it. Here is what that store looks like today . The logo was unaltered till about a few years ago when they finally painted over it. Here is the logo on the North Side of the Store: http://www.rapidtransit-press.com/socalma...

Kmart Rosemead was located at the corner of San Gabriel Blvd and Garvey Ave. It opened in the late 70's, and closed in the late 80's maybe early 90's. A very short life for the store. It was converted to a Builders Square which only lasted a few years. It sat empty for years and then was converted t...

Downey is/was still one of the few old stores with the old red/white interior.

I drove by the Brea Coco's on Imperial and the 57, and they already changed to the old logo.

On a side note, the former COCO's in Anaheim Hills has been closed since the beginning of summer, and they still have their signs up on the building.

As far as I can tell, the Rosemead Target was also a complete teardown/rebuild of the Wards. And the one in Covina (across from Eastland, which is in West Covina) was torn down and the location now houses an IKEA (relocated from Puente Hills--the former STOR.) The Wards in Country Club Centre in Sa...

Funny thing...many RiteAids still had this interior. They simply ripped the Thrifty logo off the wall, and left it looking horrible!

And kept the Community since 1929 all over the place which is weird.

It had a been a HUGE furniture store (Barker Bros?).

Correct. It was once a 2-level barker brothers. I dont know if the 2nd level still exists in that store.

See, I knew it.

Naugles were square shaped, while Del Tacos were rectangualr

I'm not sure.

There is the famous Vegetarian Tastee in Covina on Citrus and Covina Blvd.

Those I thought were Del Taco designed stores. The location on Wilcox in Montebello looks like that but it was to my knowledge always a Del Taco. I remember a Naugles in Rosemead (torn down about 10 years ago) and in Alhambra (currently a Starbucks on Atlantic). They had a slightly different design....
