Yes, my memory is shot.
Here's an interesting snapshot just listed on
eBay.
As you can see it shows a woman (tourist?) posing with a burro in front of the Temple Cafe.
Let's take a closer look.
.....................- - - > per the sign on the right the cafe serves Steaks, Chops & Beer.
The burro appears to have an
exclamation point above its head
!
I am almost certain we have discussed the Temple Cafe on NLA but I don't recall the address.
When I went to look it up I only received two hits in the LA directories.
This one. (1973)

The owner must have been religious. . . or a Steinbeck fan.
The other hit is just wrong. It combined two dif. lines (Sun Cafe . .not Temple Cafe)

This 2nd photo is included with the Temple Cafe photo. (note the 'coliseum' border)
eBay
The tower in the background sure looks like a mosque.
I decided to go ahead and post this 3rd photograph as well. (same listing)
Another woman with a burro. This times there's a cart involved.

Does anyone recognize the building in this background?
