Bernie's Coffee Shop: An L.A. Landmark Gets Political
As seen in such films as 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'The Big Lebowski,' the usually vacant Johnie's Coffee Shop on Fairfax Avenue has taken on a new role: Bernie Sanders HQ.
A grassroots Sanders group, known as Bernie's Avengers, has taken over the Mid-City mainstay to connect all of the Sanders activist groups of L.A., like Team Bernie LA, Compton for Bernie and Nurses for Bernie.
"We hope to get exposure for the Bernie Sanders campaign without having him spend his campaign money," Jeremy White, an organizer for Bernie's Avengers, tells The Hollywood Reporter.
The most notable changes to the coffee shop are the Sanders-inspired murals that now decorate Johnie's windows and exterior.
