Whilst tripping Route 66, We discovered this Windmill sticking out of a fan like roof, on day 20 of our Mother Road trip.

From The Weird California Web Site:
"Arcadia, east of Pasadena, near the Santa Anita Raceway sits a Denny's with a large non operational windmill sprouting out of its roof. Apparently it opened as a Denny's in the late nineties, has a neat ruffle collar roof beneath the windmill, and was formerly a Van de Kamp Bakery. The building was built in 1967 by architect Harold Bissner." Text Source: (
