Spotted in the Palisadian-Post: January 16, 1969 Thieves Monkey With Monkey Named after the famous late Scottish missionary, med- ical doctor and African traveler, Palisadian Marie Emrich’s “Dr. David Livingstone”—“Livy” for short—was stolen be- tween 10 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday from the backyard of a home on San Remo Drive. “Livy” is a $150 woolly monkey which stands 28 inches tall, weighs 15-20 pounds and has dark brown hair with black trim. Its right middle finger is missing. Mrs. Emrich’s son, Robert, told police he saw two girls and a “hippie-type” male in a car parked on the driveway behind Mrs. Emrich’s garage Friday night. When Robert approached, the car sped out of the drive- way and down the street. Mrs. Emrich suspects human monkey business and told police she is offering a reward of $50-$200 for the safe return of “Livy.”

ith a shamrock-green exte- rior and a roof topped with Weclectic sculptures, Patrick’s Road- house is an unmissable landmark along Pacific Coast Highway. Inside, the diner is a cozy, kitschy time capsule: The walls are covered with framed photos and antiques, and a top-hatted skeleton is seated at the counter. “It is this crazy, one-of-a-kind, nutty place,” owner Anthony Fis- chler said. “People would go crazy if we ever changed it.” Patrick’s Roadhouse has stood guard at the mouth of Santa Monica Canyon since 1973, when Antho- ny’s father Bill bought the business. The oldest part of the building dates from 1897, when it served as a train stop for freight along the coast. During Prohibition, the stop allegedly became a bootlegging hangout, and in the 1940s, it be- came a greasy spoon called Roy’s.
