Gardena Bags
Description: Gardena is a suburb generally characterized as being part of the South Bay -- although it's not actually located along the short of the Santa Monica Bay and is further separated from the region by the 405. I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold, in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/05/08/california-fools-gold-exploring-gardena/
Description: Winkie's on Sunset Blvd. is the Googie style diner where much of the 2001 film Mulholland Drive's action takes place. In real life, it's neither actually a restaurant called Winkie's, nor is it on Sunset Blvd. It was actually shot at an old restaurant, which at the time was called Caesar's, though it was located a long ways from Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles. The actual location was about 20 miles south at 1016 W. El Segundo Blvd. in Gardena.
