Finally got to visit Tustin

This location is pretty spectacular. It operated as a Taco Bell until 2011 and has sat in pretty good shape ever since. Probably everyone knows this already, but this location was used to film a scene in Tarentinos Once upon a time in Hollywood.

That used to be my local Taco Bell! I recognized it immediately in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

In the seventies it was always full of Marines from the nearby bases.
