We ended up at the new mall in Glendale the other day, and came across this building and its lovely façade of simple but delicate masonry. It looked old — as in, from at least the earlier part of the last century — but because of its situation at the edge of the Americana’s “old towne” pastiche, it took us a comical amount of time to decide that its historic look was actual rather than simulated. The building behind is a vast, vacant warehouse space, with arced wooden rafters. And it’s for rent. Maybe an Islands or BJ’s will move in.
And then on Los Feliz Boulevard in the evening, a big fan of the all-American Sport Chalet. Could they really be Swiss brethern?
