Thanks for pointing out the Amor Arms roof-top sign. Sadly, it's all but invisible now.
As you probably noticed, the sign is angled toward the back of the massive Dolby Theater.

& that hideous monstrosity of a 'entertainment complex' chopped off Orchard from Hollywood Blvd.
Well guess what, I found a 1970s snapshot of Orchid Avenue when it was open at Hollywood Boulevard.

The Amor Arms sign can be seen half-way down the tall palm tree on the right.

Aspiring 'actress' Claudia Monroe (I kid you not) posing on......yep, Orchard Avenue.

and once again, there's the Amor Arms sign up the street.
Here she is contemplating her future stardom.

Does anyone recognize this coffee shop? That striped menu could be a valuable clue............................
Just for fun, one last look. (BIGGER this time

Thanks Claudia
