Thank you
Chuckaluck. The Plummer house is now the Leonis Adobe gift shop. It was moved to Calabasas in 1983:

I really like "working" Hollywood. I remember in the 80s (I think) when one of the messengers who shuttled between the post-production houses and the studios, etc at night on motorbikes got robbed and murdered by somebody (my ex used to work in post and calls would come in all night). A lot of people work nights in Hollywood putting shows and films together for morning screenings. When their world and Hollywood's underbelly collide it can be tragic.
The shopfronts across from the studio are still intact. There used to be an unnamed club there a couple of decades back where we used to go. I'm drawing a blank on the car wash. I just can't remember it.

Wish you hadn't posted the photo of that damn chrome gazebo thing. It gives me a headache.

I realize this has been discussed before, but every time I see that photo of the old Hollywood Lighting Fixture building on eBay, I remember this thread.

I sometimes wonder if we sent "before" photos of homes and buildings featured on this thread, to the current owners, if it would prompt them to do something about their ruined gems, but they'd probably just think we were nuts.
