And I am home from Toyland. So far, it's been a good day.

 

[ChasSmith]

I have a question for DR Jane, or BK who probably knows this as well.

Stats.  Or Stat's.  For burgers?  DR Jane mentioned it when we were talking about Beverly Hills and it sounded slightly familiar.  I subsequently found a couple of notes from those years indicating I went there, but I'm completely blank on what it was, where it was, anything about it, and the word "stats" is making for an impossible Google search.  I'd love to fill in a memory here.

I found this.  It isn't much.

I remember the thousand island dressing which I have always preferred on a hamburger. 

I also remember cheese in the middle of the burger and rye bread.  We always ate at the one on Wilshire & Doheny.

Mmmm, thousand, just like my Hamlet favorite.

Thank you, DR Jane.  Mine would have been the Wilshire near Doheny one.  Was it a coffee shop style jernt on the north side of Wilshire?  Did they serve breakfast as well as hamburgers and lunch stuff?

Topic of the Day:

"That's what she said."

[George]

I've never heard of "This." 

I don't get it.

[George]

On a happier note (F-natural), I'm again listening to the (non-Anthony) "Newly Remixed and Remastered" Follies.

[Jrand73]

Is anyone else getting blank pages at EBAY?

[Ben]

Put the Blame on Meme

Hate to be a difficult person but it rhymes with "team" Some folk do say "mame" but most folk say meeme to rhyme with team or beam or gleam, etc.

[Ben]

I don't go to ebay but I went just now to see and I get pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of pictures. Don't know what your problem is JR but it works for me.

And now I have cookies from ebay in my history which I will go and delete.

[Doug R]

Some DRs might know Sara Shane best from the Gordon Scott Tarzan film

Ah yes! I remember her well. She was most attractive in "Tarzan's Greatest Adventure".

I had no troubles either, JRand.

[Jrand73]

Thanks DR BEN and DR GEORGE - maybe I should restart my computer and see what happens.

[Matthew]

I went to eBay.  All the pages were there.  But I didn't need anything (?!?!?) so I left

T.O.D.

This is my answer to Topic of the Day.

[Jrand73]

LOL....EBAY is working fine in SAFARI....so I must have clicked something in my FIREFOX browser that did something or other.

[Jrand73]

And DR MBARNUM was correct, as soon as I got into EBAY, I spent $15.

The Hamlet thousand island was nowhere near as good.

They served all sorts of other foods besides hamburgers.  I recall ordering delicious BLT's.

It wasn't "fancy" like the Hamlet so I guess you could say it was more like a coffee house.

No wonder doing a search didn't come up with anythings except references to statistics.

Okay, I think I know which clump of brain cells it was.  And it's funny, because I've remembered that particular place a few times over the years but could never put a name to it.  And I know it wasn't there for too much longer after I'd found it.

It was a sad day for me when they closed.

Saturday nights my parent's usually went out to dinner with friends.  Before leaving my father would often go pick my hamburgers from Stats for us kids.  Once my brother began driving I had to alternate with the Apple Pan because it was his favorite place.  I didn't really like the Apple Pan yet it is still rated one of the best hamburger places.  He also liked their pie which to me was just ok.  No apple pie has ever compared to my mother's. 

My brother still likes to get a hamburger & slice of pie there and I, of course, wouldn't eat at Stats today.

[Cillaliz]

DR Cillaliz, have you and your mom been watching DANCING WITH THE STARS?

Minus Bristol, and possibly Kirstie (although she was super entertaining last night) I think the level is unbelievable. I am so impressed. My favorites are: Shawn/Derek (the past 2 weeks they have been exceptional), Apollo/Karina. And last night I became fans of Melissa/Tony (love how she is trying to include so much difficulty) and Kelly/Val (they were so good last night).

If it isn't Bristol or Kirstie that goes it's gonna be really sad. I'm sort of hoping that those two go first so we can have all superior dances.

Have you been talking to my mother? 

[Jane]

We received our  invitation to our niece's wedding today.  I just noticed how the envelope is addressed, Mr Keith & Mrs Jane ......

Is this the modern way of addressing a couple?

[Cillaliz]

Makes me think of Mr. Eddie's Father

[Cillaliz]

Don't know why

[Cillaliz]

For those who don't do FB or haven't seen it...this is great

As far as I know, the only two Stat's were on Pico near Robertson (the one we ate at) and the one on Wilshire near La Cienega (one block east) - I don't believe there was ever a Stat's at Wilshire and Doheney.

[bk]

Had a sandwich and no fries or onion rings, did errands and whatnot, had to watch all the Outside The Box footage and take notes for the editor, which took most of the afternoon, and picked up one little package (Ontrac of course hadn't delivered but subsequently has, so I'll just get that tomorrow) and I'm now home and relaxing.

I thought I went to Pico & Robertson then didn't read about one there and figured it was me.  Thank you.  I feel so much better now.  I have absolutely no recollection of a second Stat's.  I just remember turning right on Pico from Motor and driving the short distance (remember when there wasn't any traffic and it only took a few minutes) to the restaurant.

[ChasSmith]

Plot thickens.  Case reopened.

I got Wilshire & Doheny from that board Jane found.  If that's wrong, my small coffee shop near there is once again a mystery.

What this takes is sitting down in front of old city directories.  I have a few from my other home towns, and they're worth their weight in gold.

I wish you had one for this area.
