Kinda Interesting Things #158: Pann’s Coffee Shop If you’re driving on the border of Westchester and Inglewood in LA, at the corner of La Tijera and La Cienega, you’ll come across this diner that’s one of LA’s greatest architectural gems. This is Pann’s. Opened in 1958 by George and Rena Panagopoulos — this diner is known for its famous Googie architectural style, designed by Helen Liu Fong of the Armet & Davis architectural firm. Googie architecture — known in some publications as Coffee Shop Modern — is a type of futurist architecture that originated in Southern California from the Streamline Moderne architecture of the 1930s, and was popular in the United States from the mid-40s to the early 70s. Googies — as they were called — were meant to attract the eyes of people driving by in their cars. Heavily influenced by jets, the Atomic Age, and the Space Age, Googie architecture evoked a playful sense of hope and optimism. During its heyday however, the style was looked down upon by architecture enthusiasts, who thought it looked tacky. Around LA there are several buildings still standing that feature the iconic architectural style like Norms on La Cienega, Johnnie’s Coffee Shop on Wilshire, and Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank.
