Maybe they didn't have the best food, but Oki Dog and the 
Atomic Cafe were definitely two of the most interesting 
eateries in LA.  You'd find the most interesting people at
3am in the morning at these places.  The Atomic Cafe is now 
a noodle shop ... and the last time I drove by Oki Dog, there
was chain-linked fencing around it.  Is Oki Dog also history?

BTW, I've always assumed that the Motels' song "The Atomic
Cafe" was based on this eatery ... because of the Motels being
from LA, and the Atomic Cafe being a hang-out for the 
underground music people (euphemism for punks?).  Any truth
to this?
