Glide ‘Er Inn (1930)

The aviation-themed Glide ‘Er Inn opened in 1930 in Seal Beach along PCH near the Seal Beach airport. It looks like it made it into the 1990’s but alas is no more. Per the LA Times (1993): “When the restaurant opened in 1930, the huge Seal Beach ammunition dump had not yet been built, and this part of PCH was one long landing strip. In those days, customers could actually fly up to the restaurant–could literally glide ‘er in –in their two-seater planes, and park them alongside the sports cars. It must have been quite a scene.”
