Doggie Diner Designer Died
Harold Bachman, 84, the advertising artist who dreamed up the Doggie Diner heads, died Oct. 1st in Santa Rosa, Ca. In 1965, Bachman sketched the concept for the happy, rotating dachsund head to promote a restaurant, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The roadside icon, which once flourished in the Bay Area and was immortalized in Zippy the Pinhead comic strips, today can only be seen in one public place. In January 2005, a restored Doggie Diner head was added to the median strip of Sloat Boulevard near Ocean Beach in San Francisco. [10/12/2005 roadsideamerica.com]
The Golden Gate Bridge
I left my heart in San Francisco High on a hill, it calls to me. To be where little cable cars Climb halfway to the stars! The morning fog may chill the air I don't care! My love waits there in San Francisco Above the blue and windy sea When I come home to you, San Francisco, Your golden sun will shine for me!
