I seem to recall having visited a place in the LAX area called Pipes and
Pizza, back in the 60's -- great pizza and the organ was terrific.
Unfortunately, I live about 30 miles north, and haven't been back since.
Anyone remember the place?

In El Segundo is the Old Tyme movie Theater, not really a pazza place, but
they have a great organ program preceeding an old film.  Some films have
sound, and others are of the silent variety.  I highly recommend the place for
either reason.
