Step into a world o' Googie, the snazzy midcentury style, at the Valley Relics Museum.
Los Angeles has certainly changed over the decades, as all thrumming and humming megalopolises tend to do, but it has never fully lost its architectural adherence to a certain midcentury moxie.The diner that inspired the way we describe this particular style of outlandish architecture may be long gone — you're much missed, Googie Coffee Shop — but Googie-fied gems still dot the Southern California landscape.
A Googie-themed gathering will glow at the Valley Relics Museum Nov. 16, all to celebrate this snazzy slice of oh-so-SoCal style.
Guests include Los Angeles Magazine's own Chris Nichols, the expert source for all things Southern-California-iana, and the LA-championing chatelaine of Vintage LA, Alison Martino, who is bringing scintillating snapshots of our city's cinematic streets.Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend.
Call it the architecturally amazing assemblage of a Googie dream team, these spirited supporters of a space-age vibe still pluckily exists in all corners of our vast city. Book signings are part of the vibrant afternoon, meaning that anyone who adores the roofline zigzags, extremely large windows, and eye-popping signage associated with the architecture can take a bit of Googie magic home, should they purchase a book.
