Weird....I grew up in Glendale and it was so lily-white in the 1950's that it was only a semi joke that anyone with a hint of beige best be on the bus outta town by dusk. Nary a Mexican or Chinese restaurant even.

After I left for the Marine Corps in 1966, it started to get an inflow of Salvadorians, followed by a huge flood of Armenians.......this Korean influx must be within just the past few years.

That all being said ---- I hope that Damon's Steak House is still there!

I'm of the melanin-enriched variety of American. I can tell you for a fact that Glendale was still a no-go zone after dark for minorities, as late as the mid-eighties.

I discussed this personally on the roadside with Glendale - Burbank police, many times in those days.

Is there a city left anywhere in the U.S. that stayed lily-white since the 50s?
