For 138 years, Ocean Grovers have been flocking to Day's for ice cream. Talk about historic! It is the town's oldest continuously operating business. Day's opened at its original and current Pitman Avenue location in August 1876, according to an undated newspaper article in the archives of the Historical Society of Ocean Grove. At the time, Ocean Grove was a scrub pine area dotted with sand dunes, the Great Auditorium, and a Methodist tent colony. But the Ocean Grove ice cream parlor was not the first such establishment owned by brothers William F. and Pennington Day. The enterprising pair had already been selling ice cream at a popular restaurant, also called Day's, in Morristown. After opening the Ocean Grove business, they branched out and opened an ice cream garden in Asbury Park at 219 Asbury Avenue. At some point their ice cream empire included a Newark outlet. The two shore businesses had similar designs, with tables surrounding a grassy courtyard filled with flowers. [read more]

Idle Hour was reintroduced to North Hollywood as a throwback to the dawning of L.A’s car culture and the Programmatic architecture that flourished in response. The building achieved landmark status as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #977 in 2010 due to the work of Chris Nichols, a writer for Los Angeles magazine. Programmatic architecture bloomed alongside the automobile in the early 1940s as California’s residents and visitors began driving down the boulevards instead of walking. Business owners, recognizing a hasty need to attract the now quickly passing motorists, opted for instantly recognizable buildings to do the duty previously filled by window signage and adverts. Idle Hour resembled a whiskey barrel to lure thirsty workers on their “idle hour,” while other quick-serve locations formed in shapes of tea kettles, doughnuts, and wildly oversized objects to represent their operations. This style of architecture survives as a relic of Hollywood’s past, an unexpected yet instantly iconic result of the city’s historic car culture. Another example of Programmatic architecture sits on the patio of Idle Hour, a testament to 1933 Group’s devotion to crafty preservation. The pipe-smoking bulldog, known as Bulldog Café from 1928 until the mid-1960s, is actually a reproduction of the original eatery rescued from L.A.’s world-renowned Petersen Museum. Whether sipping brews in the barrel or under the watchful eye of the friendly pooch, patrons are poised for a whimsical rendezvous with pals and Los Angeles nostalgia. [read more]
