January 7th 2007....   Johnies torn down..

 

  11/9/07......update,       Johnie's is still just sitting there the same way it was the day they tore it down, it's really depressing to drive by.  I've heard there is a law suit pending and that's why they haven't cleaned it up, I've also heard there's a group in Downey that is trying to have it re-built and opened back up as a restaurant but I don't think that will really happen.  Richard Rhodes..  Class of S'59  

6/08....update 

The June 27, 2008 issue of the Downey Patriot says clean-up of the site will begin in July and the Bob's Big Boy Franchise will construct a new carhop restaurant there.
