I have also been searching for a good vintage photograph of Lalo's Nightclub in East Los Angeles.
(or at least a larger version of the postcard below. The club was in business from around 1959/60 to 1974.

Luckily, the top image of the postcard was good enough to make out the basic outline of the building (L shaped and set back a bit from the intersection)

And guess what...the Lalo's building is still there!


GSV / Northeast corner of Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. and N. Marianna Ave.

The building doesn't appear to have changed much.





Back in the club's heyday Lalo would even sign your menu. (that's a deal)


Lalo's 4209 Brookyn Avenue AN-2-8017 * Los Angeles


You can read about Lalo Guerrero HERE, and HERE (Part 2)
His story is very interesting.
