The local TV news stations devoted significant segments to today's opening of Larry King's Brooklyn Water Bagel Shop.
It's actually in Beverly Hills

Larry was on hand with his wife and even slid a tray full of bagels into the boiling water.

Note in the article the prediction of 100 locations in just the L.A. area in the next 6 1/2 years!

I wonder what the proprietors of the Brooklyn Bagel Bakery (est. 1953) in downtown L.A., think of this "invasion."
The founders of this bagel bakery were patients of the internist for whom I worked from 1959 to 1967 and used to bring grocery bags full of the "real" bagels at every visit.
They are on Beverly Blvd. near Alvarado.
"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
