Big Boy Brains

This week we heard that the Big Boy statue in front of their Downey restaurant was mangled in a car crash, the restaurant painted him green and put some foam brains spilling out of his broken head. So that was the ride destination for this Sunday. We also had heard yesterday that the Columbia space museum in Downey was moving a full-sized model of the Space Shuttle for display at the museum. So we figured we’d go by there and see if it was parked there.
The route was our standard route for doing south to Downey. We stopped briefly at the oldest operating McDonald’s. They have a little museum there about the history of the company, and also, they have bathrooms. Then we went a bit farther south to the Columbia museum, but there was no sign of the shuttle model. Then we went for snacks at 3rd St Coffee in downtown Downey. Then straight home, basically by the same route we took to get there.
43 miles.
