I also noticed what appears to be fluffy pillowy things up in the ceiling, but no one was able to tell me what they were. The only thing I could think was that if gravity were suddenly reversed, those inside the store would be okay. |

Washington & Culver, Culver City | ||
 | OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 27 December 2000 According to the plaque on the wall outside the door, this store is located inside the historic Washington building, and its non-standard design reflects its unique character. There's a lot of white in the store, matching the outside of the building. The menu has a simpler look. The sofa, tables, and counters all have a different look. |

And by a stroke of fortune, I shared a table with a young lady who happened to win a pair of tickets to the event, and her friends all happened to be out of town, so she offered me her spare ticket. If you ever see this, thanks again Sophie!! |

Plus, the outdoor tables, peppered with holes perfect for spilling a drink through, are different than the usual. |
