@Suga69bb Gays Lion Farm was on the whole block pretty much of Valley Blvd. and Peck Rd. east towards Baseball St. and south down towards Meeker Ave.. So yes the McDonald's property was indeed part of the Lion Farm. On the SE corner of Valley and Peck, adjacent to the freeway, there's a statue of a lion and a commemorative plaque honoring the lion farm. Leo the lion was only ONE of the lions used at the beginning of an MGM movie. Hope this helps. :-)
I read that the famous MGM lion that roars at the start of their movies was from Gay's lion farm! I'm from near this area..they have a gold lion statue there now @ Valley Blvd/Peck Rd/10fwy
@massey4business thank you for the info, finally got the right info
