Marc: I was born in Santa Monica and when I was three; my parents emigrated to Los Angeles. I in the Beverlywood Section of towns which is adjacent to Westwood. It is primarily a Jewish section of town. I actually did not know until I was 12 years old that they were white people who were not Jews.

I am Marc Scott Zicree, the author of the Twilight Zone Companion. I am also a writer, producer working in television. Everyone knows that LA is constantly being reinvented, reconstructed. It is a town of façade, false faces, but there are a little pockets of authenticity. If you look for them, if you look on secret corners, even step through a door and it is like going into a portal in time.

This is one of the places that in Los Angeles, the Apple Pan. I have memories of coming here when I was three years old with my parents and it was exactly the same, the same food, and the same wallpaper. The exterior has changed in terms of what surrounds it.

When they are going to build this mall and this adjoined thing over here, they did want the property, but that is just not something we wanted to view.

Sunny: Okay, well, I am Sunny Sherman. My grandparents, Allen Baker and Ellen Baker started the restaurant. Mom was generally here and it has just been a nice family restaurant for 59 years now. It is original, so that people that came here 50 years ago; it's the same and that is kind of nice because in LA. Charlie is going to be 50 years next January that he has worked here. So, it is a little bit comforting to have something to just be there and be as it always was because how many places you can find out.

Marc: Well, the rain's . It is a beautiful day in Los Angeles. We are now at the Farmers’ Market at the corner of Third and Fairfax. About a hundred years ago, this was the Gilmore Dairy Farm until they killed oil and then it the Gilmore Oil Company. In 1934, the land owned by the Gilmores, Farmers start selling fruits out of trucks and they quickly the Framers’ Market.

Now, I used to go to the Apple Pan when I was three or four years old with my mom and dad. But when the and I was growing up and becoming a teenager, we were here. We were to CBS, here at Television City itself. All the writers would come here and just all day long. A lot is all guys just right next to Fairfax which is the Jewish District. This place just the 1930's and smells the food, so authentic, baked goods, donuts and ice cream and foods from all over the world here. You can just imagine Peter Laurie or Humphrey Bogart. When these guys are eating here, grabbing a quick bite. Live TV started here too at CBS, both here and in New York. So, it is very much the offended in the Los Angeles of decades gone by.

Okay, we are right now standing on Hollywood Boulevard and this 2006. there is no doubt about, with the tattoo parlors, and all of . We are about to go into a time machine and go back into the past, so come along with me.

Manuel: It is Emmanuel H. Felix, spell that one right. I have been here for about 33 years now and it has . The restaurant opened in 1919 and I believe at the time would be the only restaurant.

Marc: I love that spectacular real cash register? Once I Musso and Frank's when I was researching my book for Twilight Zone Companion back in the late 70s. I found that the Twilight Zone writers back in 1959, 1960 used to hang out here, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, George Clayton Johnson even (Rod) Serling would come here and so I came here and I was astonished because it is exactly like a doorway into the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s. David Chandler used to hang out here.

Manuel: Even Charles Bukowski dined recently, Steinbeck, Papa Heningway and many of them.

Marc: The Brown Derby and Trocadero, Ciro's; they are ! So, if you want a little taste of the old Hollywood, with great taste of film and TV, you just go through these doorways and you order up and you are there. You do not have to imagine it. You can just sit and in it.
