Rompage Hardware obviously likes moving, because in the 1987 City Directory they were at 5916 Hollywood Boulevard.

Today that address is a fairly non-descript nail salon on the end of a self-storage building (below, left). Its neighbor, however, is more interesting. 5920 Hollywood Boulevard is now the Vibe Hotel, but they have some history on
their website, and as the listing above shows, it used to be the Movie Town Motel & Apartments.

Although these pictures look familiar, I can't find any previous mention of either the Movie Town Motel or Vibe Hotel:
