Hoot Owl Cafe- A Trip Back in Time
The Hoot Owl Cafe was designed and built by my Grandfather in 1926.
The head rotated; the eyes made from Buick headlights, blinked;
the sign used elements of a theater marquee. My Grandmother ran
this cafe for over 50 years.
I only remember it being located in South Gate California
on Long Beach Blvd. off Firestone Blvd.
I know it was moved at least once from another location.
I have a malt glass and an ice cream scoop from this cafe.
It was torn down in 1979.
