Directly across La Cienega Boulevard from the old 'La Cienega Lanes/Flippers' is another untouched relic, the Alta Cienega Motel.

I've been trying to remember what venue used to be located just north of the Alta Cienega Motel (northwest of the old Flippers).
-the southwest corner of La Cienega Boulevard & Holloway Drive.

A big source of income for the owners of the property are the two massive billboards.
