Video: Watch The Unveiling Of Clifton's Cafeteria Facade

Wednesday's ceremonial unveiling of Clifton's Brookdale Cafeteria revealed the historic original facade of the famous restaurant for the first time since the 1950s. And luckily, at least one Angeleno captured the downtown L.A. event on video.

We posted about the uncovering yesterday, noting the ongoing modern renovations at the landmark eatery. The day marked a major milestone in the urban revitalization of Los Angeles. The restaurant's new owner, Andrew Meieran, told Brigham Yen the entire restoration process will take about 2 to 2.5 years. The facade will be restored to resemble its 1935 look, which you can view here.

Cue up an epic track, perhaps a little something by composer John Williams, and watch the curtain ascend.
