I don't know if you'll find it any longer, but at one time Downey had an original design for it's Marie Calendar restaurant. The one with the split rail siding and white crazy daisys. Oh not to mention the "Close to You" and We've only Just Begun" apartments owned by the Carpenter family. I love Downey.

The building looks more like a 50s diner than a McDo (our nickname for it here in the Philippines, pronounced with a hard O).
