How odd that this would have caught my attention
Well, look at what I found: rectangles.
In case you wondered – Charles von der Ahe was the founder of the Southern California grocery store chain, Vons, which was among the first stores to offer pre-packaged, self-service meat and deli items. (Vons was also the Official Grocery Store for the 1984 Summer Olympics, for whatever that’s worth.)
This building is on the campus of Loyola Marymount University; when you walk over to it from the visitor parking, a crossing guard will stop traffic for you. Which is sort of entertaining, since compared to the rest of Los Angeles, the campus has practically no traffic. But, still, we made it there and back without any car-pedestrian accidents to mess up the trip.
