Oh....these are good memories. Last Wed. I drove up to Baldwin Park (right near West Covina and Azusa) to pick up a new motor for my Bus. While there I made a trip to Mecca (for burgers, that is) to the original In-N-Out, first built in the area October 22, 1948. The top two pictures show that original store which is no longer open and has a fence around it. Circa 1980, my college buddies and I from Azusa Pacific would frequent this In-N-Out when it was still open. We'd go there around 2am and score some free fries, always worth the trip when living on a college student's meager budget.
The bottom two pictures show the new "number 1" store about 100 yards away. Next to it is In-N-Out University where they train the employees. As I proudly pass on the heritage and yumminess of In-N-Out to my kids, it is with great pride knowing I have eaten at the original store. In-N-Out is truly a So. Cal gem, and I'm stoked for any of you outside of the area that are able to enjoy their burgers.
