It was various kinds of restaurants when I was little; then we moved away. When I moved back as an adult a few years ago, it had become the office for a used car lot (the building next door had been torn down and the used cars had taken up the space.)<br /><br />Also, Paul Bunyan's hands are tiny!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-25773001557338774232014-05-18T16:44:26.540-07:002014-05-18T16:44:26.540-07:00Holy cow, you mean that last photo is NOT the Psyc...Holy cow, you mean that last photo is NOT the Psycho house at Universal Studios????

Martinez..<br /> It almost looks like a studio backlot structure.<br /><br />Old so. cal minds think alike. <br />I remember the Bates house on the old studio tram tour. It looked a lot like this. <br />Alonzo P Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529651580262634489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-29020061299104513902014-05-17T08:14:40.025-07:002014-05-17T08:14:40.025-07:00Love the first pic.

Pup n Taco and Tastee Freeze also rocked the A Frame but had flat brim at the bottom. <br /><br />That house looks like it came straight from the Universal back lot.

Where's the access to the front porch and door? I can't imagine climbing that retaining wall and walking up the steep grassy knoll to get inside my house everyday. Even the sides of the house couldn't hold a path because the slant of the hill comes right up against the house with no flat area to support a brick or concrete pathway. It almost looks like a studio backlot structure.K.

I checked on Google Maps and it shows just grass and trees behind the statues now.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-16264885528296425222014-05-17T00:17:17.934-07:002014-05-17T00:17:17.934-07:00Olde America is so much fun to look at.

The green one is a 1955 Pontiac. Behind it is a black Oldsmobile - I think a 1952. In the 3rd image is a metallic green 1954 Ford.<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
