The Denny's on Rosemead/Lakewood Blvd. just north of Florence Ave. on the west side and on a strangely tapered piece of property wasthe first one I was aware of. It was about 300 feet north of the MacDonald's on the southwest corner of Lakewood and Florence. Is the 5520 South St. address in the city of Lakewood presently occupied by a Denny's the site of the first one? Rex saylor7@centurytel.net

Am I the only person who remembers transitional signs that read Dannys/Dennys? I cannot find any mention of these signs anywhere.

In 1961 I was attending Fullerton Jr. College as a freshman. I had come from a small town in Ohio and became aquainted with Steve Butler, son of Harold Butler. We became friends and had lots of good times. Harold even flew us to Vegas one weekend for a great time. Steve was a very nice person and I returned to Ohio never to see him again. I would like to reconnect and ask anyone who can assist with information to do so.
Thank you,

I knew a lovely man named Harold Butler years ago, who happened to be the original brains behind "Denny's". I just passed the Denny's at
Harbor & Garden Grove, and was appalled to see a banner that read ... "Feliz Navidad" ... I looked around for something 'in English' and found NOTHING.
Pretty damned pathetic in my book.
DENNY'S IS AN ALL AMERICAN RESTAURANT and it's too bad new owners don't follow Mr. Butler's lead and treat it as SUCH. Even at Denny's in Acapulco, they probably have a sign in ENGLISH.

My grandpa used to go to the Denny's at the corner of Bluebird and PCH in Laguna Beach every morning for coffee. I remember going there once or twice but they tore it down when I was still very young. Laguna sure could've used a 24 hour coffee shop when I was in high school but it alas went away with everything else in Laguna that was normal or nice for middle-lower class people.

Back in 1968 and 1969, the Denny's at the corner of 17th and Bristol in Santa Ana was a real hangout on Friday and Saturday nights. A lot of the SAHS kids, including myself, would go there for breakfast after a night of partying. Late one Friday night, an extroverted young man(whose last name rhymes with "tulley") performed a striptease outside the large glass window - pressing himself against the glass as he slowly removed his clothing. We were often tossed from Denny's, so we hung out in the parking lot until the cops came.
