Second-Guessing the Greats #2: L.A. Confidential

You know, though, would anybody really open a 24-hour diner/coffee joint and call it "The Nite Owl"? Sure, I'm sure you're doing a nice chunk of business in the wee hours, but do you really want a name like that for an establishment that (you'd think) would still be getting the lion's share of its custom from the morning breakfast crowd and the workaday lunch rush? Don't tell me they're only open at night! Nobody slings hash exclusively in the evenings.

What an odd name for a coffee shop.

"As it happens, he was a Nite Owl regular - in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"NUFF A DAT!"
