This is now the Peet's coffee shop in Westwood - near the U.C.L.A. campus - that was once the site of one of the earliest Ralph's grocery stores. Peet's, in fact, occupies the original building.
Mrs. Bear remembers, as a child, driving regularly to this Ralph's with her grandfather so that he could buy the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner from the newspaper vendor in front of the store; the vendor would give her a piece of raspberry candy. Otherwise, everything remains the same.
