After the recent posts on the 'White Spot' (be it Magnolia Park or a bar on Wilshire) I was reminded of a White Spot Garage.
Well, I FINALLY found the photo I was thinking of, and I was wrong.....it is simply White Garage. No 'Spot' to it at all.

Recently I found this great matchbook of a nightclub called "The Village'. It turns out it was located in the Woodward/Bristol Hotel building.

found on ebay

OOH-LA-LA!

It is the 8th Street side of the once respectable Commercial Exchange Building.

Oh....and the fate of the White Garage? The site is now a four story public parking garage.
