Schaber's Demoleria

I remember watching the Flintstones as a kid and being fascinated by Bedrock versions of cafeterias and automats. Sure, I hated school cafeteria food like everyone else, but a dine-in cafeteria in the middle of the city seemed like a whole nuther nanimal.

Demolition of the interior of the former Schaber's Cafeteria on Broadway in Los Angeles began several nights ago. This is going to be a new location of the Figaro restaurant based in Los Feliz. Hard to believe this was a first-class cafeteria in the 1930s and '40s...

You can kinda see the old tile on the wall
