Felix (moto403) may be our first celebrity
to grace our forum ~

Felix car dealership was started in 1921 in LA. Seems the guy who created the cartoon knew the owner of the dealership and somehow the image was able to be used by the car dealership by the word of the artist.

Here is a video of Felix
designated as an historic landmark

Long Life for Felix the Cat Sign?

I remember Felix Chevrolet on figeruora blvd in L.A. when I was growing there. You see a few cars at car shows with the Felix the Cat sticks on them.

I bought a used Chevy II from Giant Felix on Fig a couple wives and lives ago. Great little car.

Wow does that jog the old memory a bit. I remember that dealership as a child, would have thought it would have been gone by now. Steve, is that old Campus Drive In majorette and other neon signs still being preserved in a shopping mall on San Diego areas (Lemon Grove?) El Cajon Blvd? Danny

Funny you should ask about that Danny.
We have a program here on TV called "About San Diego" with Ken Kramer
He does stories about out towns history every week on Sunday. If you
choose out of the selection of Video's you can have nostalgia at a click; Danny.

Here is your answer Clicky to the San Diego "Campus Drive inn Majorette"

Enjoy your answer ~ About San Diego, Danny

Thanks Steve, as I remembered it, will have to do a drive by next visit to San Diego. Some of those T.V. news personalities are still doing the same job and I moved away 20 years ago . It was always fun cruising El Cajon Blvd but I'm sure it has changed a lot. Does Larry Himmel (sp) still have a show? He had one way back with his wacky side kicks? I think it was a spoof on "Three's Company". Danny

Danny did you say you are going to do a DRIVE BY in San Diego

Someone is awake .
Just joking, but you actually can drive by and see the old neon signs.
Their displayed on the exterior of the buildings. Danny

To be clear the neon sign you remember has moved to the first shopping center in San Diego. That is just a few miles away from the original Drive inn.

Here on one of the buildings she still twirls.
College Grove Center
Calif. Hwy 94 and College Ave.
San Diego, CA 92115
619.583.5313
A multiplex theater, Grove Bowling Center,
Mervyn's and a new Wal-Mart.

Does Larry Himmel (sp) still have a show? He had one
way back with his wacky side kicks? I think it was a spoof on "Three's Company".

This is his history and where he works now on TV
as News 8's Feature Reporter Clicky





Larry still likes to play Jai Alai



Danny remember Skippy & Biff? :lol:
Well, here on Larry's blog he discusses
why there will be no DVD with Skippy & Biff
and those out of control episodes.

A few remembrances of Larry Himmel in his funny hay-days:
Skippy & Biff ruled the beaches of San Diego ~

Boy Steve you hit it right on the ole' nail head. Skippy & Biff and that blond girl would have us in stitches, what a dumb & funny show. This PC world we live in is so boring, it would be great to get a copy of that show. Thanks for the San Diego info, it would be fun to take the TD for a little trip there, but, I have about 8 more weeks of PT 3 times a week plus home work every day. Thanks Danny
