One of the most beautiful pics of the interior of the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub I’ve seen. Just heartbreaking this is gone.

I agree with you Jean. And they call it progress . HA HA HA
The stars of the Golden Age wouldn’t recognize the Hollywood of today at all.
I agree, Jean. Our high school senior prom was held there in 1959 and I cherish the portrait of me and my beautiful date.
So much of “old Hollywood” – the Hollywood we cherish and treasure – is gone or replaced by irrelevancy. I sure miss the Golden Age of Hollywood even though I wasn’t born yet!
We suffer from Anemoia – nostalgia for a time you’ve never known.
