I grew up there! Thanks for walking through/down my memory lane.
I remember when Zankou first opened up.
Ramona Elementary, Le Conte Junior High, Hollywood High School!
Anyone remember Tavelian Grocery store on Santa Monica Blvd and Normandie?
Ahhh that’s awesome!!
I love little Armenian grocery stores and bakeries in LA so much 🥹
shame on you for not helping Armenia and living in a welfare state that takes all of your tax money that you could send back to the motherland. When you sell out to brain washing california then you might as well be a terk.
That eyeglass place was so cool! I think I was as disappointed as you were about carousel being closed 😢

20 minutes in and I just find out carrousel is closed on Mondays. I think they should fly you in just for a dining experience.
Hahahahah I know right? 😂
Armenian stores look like they remained in a year they were opened which is around 1970.

I grew up there on Fountain Blvd, but my mother preferred Georgian and Russian food even though she was Armenian. She was born in Tbilisi, so maybe nobody ever taught her about Armenia. We would shop at the West Hollywood stores around Santa Monica and Fairfax and spoke only Russian, but sometimes we would go to the Jons supermarket down neat Cahuenga where there was a plurality of Armenians. I didn't like going there because Armenians seemed sullen, and the Russian stores were friendly and helpful, so maybe that is what my mom preferred. Unfortunately, I can't ask her now but it would be interesting to know her reason.
It's weird, I know people like your mom and they seem Anti Armenian to me. They often visit Georgia but never Armenia.
Also, if we are generalizing, Russians are a lot more sullen than Armenians. Most Armenians have a sense of humor, whereas most Russians don't.
@GabrielKillian you could be right about the sullen thing. I was a youngster at the time so I may not have things completely figured out but what I remember is when we went to a Russian deli, it seemed there were people always hanging out, talking, joking... a more robust atmosphere whereas an Armenian place didn't really was usually quiet, extremely clean, orderly, and had very little extra chitchat. It was more like come and go. I also remember Armenian women being a bit boorish, or shall I say, a tad bit domineering and unfriendly, whereas the men were a bit more likely to be smiling and welcoming. In Russian and Georgian shops, the women were more on the feminine and submissive in some ways. I would say they were not going to argue, or so it seemed to me. These are all memories from my youth as a small child to early teens, so I may not have it completely right, but i am an Armenian. My mother's maiden name is Gambaryan, and my father is Asratyan. I don't know why my mom would be Anti-Armenian, but she was friends with Georgians, went to church with Georgians, and even married a Georgian man before she passed. She spoke Georgian and favored Georgian food. Maybe she was very assimilated to Georgia and lost touch with her Armenian roots. Georgians and Armenians do have differences, so maybe it's a personality thing with her, but thank you for your response.
@@Vdoom777 I wouldn't call JONS an Armenian market though. A lot of Russians shop there too. It's tough to compare a big market like that with small Russian ones. Customer service in small places tends to be better, even in Armenian markets like Arbat and Nairi.
@GabrielKillian it's not only Jons. There are a couple of other establishments I remember as well. They are just different. I'm not saying one is good or bad. It all depends on preference obviously but I remember Jons the most and some encounters I with Armenians there. Like, none of the other Armenians cared that we were Armenian. They seemed totally indifferent. It was like, meh...just another Armenian mom and kid. They never bothered to make any conversation even like how are you doing or hey kid, you want a lollipop or something like that. There was always this feeling like, 'okay, get your stuff then hurry up and go'. Not much politeness and I think the women were not afraid to just be rude if it came down to it. I really don't know for sure. I don't live there anymore and my memories are from childhood so I may be wrong or something else but it's just my recollection.
@@Vdoom777 I feel like that's the vibe at any supermarket. It's fast paced because they have to keep it moving for the customers. Small Armenian grocery stores where there is one register are not that way at all.
