[All pictures' links were broken. I will make sure this never again happens in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience. This has been fixed for most recent posts. Older posts might still have this issue.]
On foundbyjames.com, it says these photos were orginally complied by Jim Heimann and Rip Georges in 1980. It also says this about a style of architecture I didn't know existed, "California Crazy is the style of architecture that seems to typify California itself: naive, direct, unpretentious. These buildings were designed to catch the eye, to be remembered. No ad agency conceived them - they were often designed by the owners themselves, poured of ferro concrete and shaped by the undisguised desire to sell."
Why is California so crazy? I know why: it's California! By the way, out of all these pictures my favorite is always going to be the ice cream parlor shaped as a dog smoking a pipe! It just cracks me up.
