            Route 66
Highland Park neighbourhood,
Los Angeles, CA

From the route66ca.org web site: "Quite a few landmarks make Highland Park a must-see on your Route 66 exploration of Los Angeles. The most famous is probably Chicken Boy, the western-most of the so-called “Muffler Men” along Route 66. Located at 5558 N. Figueroa, Chicken Boy is just a short walk from the Highland Theatre (5604 N. Figueroa), designed by L.A. Smith and opened on 5 March, 1925."

Chicken Boy and the Highland Theatre scaffold sign: two fixtures of Route 66 in one photograph. I took many pictures as I walked the Highland Park neighbourhood -- this photo is one of my favourites.
