Interior photograph of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub at the Ambassdor HotelTo anybody who’s has read my books, it won’t come as a surprise to read that I love coming across new photos of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Blvd. I found this one on Davelandweb and really shows what it was like. But of course all I can think of now is how little room poor Gwendolyn had schlepping around her cigarette tray.

    It still makes me mad that the LA school district just had to tear down the Ambassador Hotel for no good reason. What makes it worse is that they do such a crap job of educating the kids.

    • It was a complicated situation and a bitterly fought battle. It’s such a shame that a workable and acceptable solution couldn’t be found where the city got to keep such a landmark and the have a much needed school too.

    Mesmerizing looking at this thinking of all the stars who came to dance and socialize… but immensely sad too knowing it is now just a long-ago memory.

    Like you, Martin, I also enjoy seeing what anything looked like back in the Golden Age of Hollywood.

    Thanks for this.

    Jean
