Dimples HistoryThe
Blue Evening was opened in 1939 and was the very first licensed bar in
Burbank and was surrounded by Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, Disney
Studios and NBC Studios. Sal
Ferraro reopened the “Blue Evening” in 1964 and renamed it “Now
Voyager” after the 1940 movie with Bette Davis & Paul Henreid.
While at “The Voyager”
Sal snapped thousands of pictures and to this day has the largest library
of slides of any nightclub in world.
The slides were shown on multi-slide projectors in the club. In
1969 Sal opened Visa Travel for the in-house travel club called
“Voyagers”. They traveled
to Mexico, Hawaii, cruised the Pacific and took weekend trips outside of
L.A. Since then Sal has
visited more than 100 countries and is a member of the “Century Travel
Club”. His motto:
“Find new places and faces--Loosen your hold on the
past--Latch on to something connected with tomorrow” has kept him
young at heart. In 1982 Sal
purchased the “Balkan House” and renamed it “Dimples” after the
film starring Shirley Temple. Dimples
