Coffee Shops...
Pig’N Whistle
Long in a state of disrepair, Eddie Bohn’s Pig’N Whistle Hotel/Motel
on W. Colfax caught fire last night.
Originally opened by larger-than-life boxer Eddie Bohn in the ’20s,
it was updated and added to over the years, until finally closing in 1991.
This was a particularly bad graffiti day a couple of years ago.

White Spot (Hooters)
Hooters occupies this spot which once housed a White Spot coffee shop.
These “Flying-Nun” roof buildings were designed by the famous LA Googie-style architectural team of Armet and Davis in 1961.
The covered porch is an alteration, but Hooters has kept this building in pretty good shape.
