When I was a kid, my favorite was Winchell's- did you ever go to Winchell's?

Yeah, I remember Winchell's!!! It was a Sunday morning ritual when I was...oh...3-6 years old...Dad & I would go get donuts...(devil's food with chocolate sprinkles was my fave...STILL is my favorite NON-Krispy Kreme type of donut)...then we'd go to Long Beach Airport and sit on the benches of the observation deck just below the control tower and watch the planes come & go. (I had this obsession with airplanes back then)
There are still a FEW Winchell's left around SoCal...but they're VERY few & far between. And, they're independently owned & operated, not like back in the ''50's/60's/'70's when they were all one big chain & were on every-other street corner.
