Santa Monica storefront in 1977, in a vintage art deco structure that was likely constructed in the 1920s -’30s. Interested to know what was sold in the shop called Sane & Insane.

Woody’s Smorgasburger was a local restaurant chain started in the early ‘60s, which the first place I knew of that allowed you to build your own burger. More importantly to me, they also had a self-serve ice cream bar where you could build your own sundae.

I believe the one in the pic is the original in Culver City, but there were several all over the L.A. basin. The one I frequented the most was on Sepulveda in El Segundo, near LAX where my cousin lived, which was the last surviving location until it was finally converted to an IHOP.
