former Bubbles Balboa Club
Newport Beach, CA
2008: 2013:
2015: 2019:
The former Bubbles Balboa Club restaurant was an ordinary look bank in the 1960s. The building was vacant in the 1970s. In 1985, the building was given this Streamline Moderne treatment. There was a wide, clear pole in the dining area filled with bubbling water, hence the name of "Bubbles." The building was in use as the Bubbles Art Gallery in 2008. The building was vacant by 2013. By 2014, the building was occupied by Maverick's Gastropub. The block glass, tiles, rounded and porthole windows are gone now. In 2018, the building began housing the Palms. The building is currently vacant. [map]

Balboa Market [gone]
Newport Beach, CA
The Balboa Market opened in 1938 as a Safeway supermarket. In 1950, the store was known as Bob's Village Market. The Balboa Market closed in 2006 and the building was still vacant when this photo was taken in 2008. In 2010, the building was demolished. I don't know if the sign was saved.
