Giant Orange

Los Angeles to Barstow


Cruising through Fontana, birthplace of the Hells Angels biker club, pause for a photo by the Giant Orange, a now-boarded-up 1930s orange-shaped juice stand of the kind that was once a fixture alongside SoCal’s citrus groves.

It used to offer weary Route 66 travelers 'all the juice you could drink' for a mere 10 cents.
