Where was it before "the previous two years?" I ask because the current location proudly lists GREENBLATT'S: Since 1926.

I've thought that, too. When we think of him (and Dorothy Parker, who lived on Norma Place in West Hollywood) it's usually a New York reference. Probably because of "The Great Gatsby" and the Algonquin Round Table, but both spent many years here in Los Angeles.

I don't know if there's any film footage of either of those two, but I loved the way Tom Hiddleston (Loki in "Thor") played him in "Midnight in Paris."
