By on Tuesday, June 16, 2015

A flash mob car crowd gathers near the Krispy Kreme donut outlet, 1521 North Victory Place, in Burbank’s Empire Center. That invasion has happened before and despite warnings from the Burbank Police Department and threats of legal action from Burbank City Attorney, Amy Albano, the custom car enthusiasts are apparently planning on returning to the Media City this evening.

Car shows: A big draw in Burbank

By on Monday, September 9, 2013

“This is a car town!” exclaimed Councilman, Bob Frutos, at the recent August 20 Burbank City Council meeting. Frutos’ declaration occurred during council comments about the very successful “Downtown Burbank Car Classic” on San Fernando Boulevard, between Magnolia Boulevard and Olive Avenue,  last July. Frutos is right. For proof, look at the popularity of car shows in the Media City. Yesterday, crowds were drawn to the Community Chevrolet lot at 200 West Olive Avenue for the “All Chevy Vintage Car Show.” More than a 100 carefully preserved Chevys were on display... Read More →

Bob’s Big Boy classic car show still hot attraction

By on Friday, March 16, 2012

I dropped by the classic car show at the original Bob’s Big Boy restaurant at 4211 West Riverside Drive Burbank 91505 and found it to be a jumping affair with loads of hot rides on display and tons of folks in the parking lot. It happens every Friday from 5-to-10 p.m. Also, the show is a good excuse to pop into Bob’s, a California historical landmark, for one of their famous double-decker hamburgers and/or yummy milk shakes.
