I took these photos at the same time as I took my photos of the Hwang Kum Restaurant and the abandoned gas station. This area seems very diverse, with most of the businesses catering to the immigrant population. Things are somewhat run down, any yet they are decent and safe.

After hours and hours of searching the area for National Burrito, I finally found it (well, actually "Burrito Nation")here! When I found it, I was surprised to see it in an area I had already photographed a few days earlier, and when I went back to look at these photos, I was so mad at myself for not noticing it before.

I like the way the facade protrudes here, and the decorative moulding as well.

And of course, I had to experiment with this angle.

This old-fashioned "Prodenta" gilded lettering still seems somewhat majestic.

I like the way these fire escapes lead you first to a rooftop deck, then to another escape. I also have this inexplicable urge to play darts all of a sudden.

The other side of the street.

Chris Erb: So... how was the burrito??

EvilGentleman: 16th Aug 2006 - 06:23 GMT

They were closed both times I tried going there. I hope they are still in business. The hair place next door says closed for vacation, maybe they are the same owners.

I went to the Burrito place yesterday. Apparently they were closed a few days for renovation so that's probably the reason it wasn't open when you were there. It's now called Burrito Ville, I'm not sure if that was the name all along and I thought wrong or if they changed their name. I was going to ask but I forgot.

These were taken between 5:30am and 7:30am. There was hardly any one around that early.
