I love finding a good color photo of Hollywood from yesteryear—they make the times long since past really come to life. In this one, we’re seeing That Famous Intersection—Hollywood and Vine —in 1966 when Hody’s occupied the northwest corner (1955 to 1969) and the upscale menswear store, Harris & Frank, were still next door.
This Hody’s menu was sent to me by James Schallock, who found it among his mother’s belongings:
Love this photo, brings back memories of going there for ice cream sundaes and such. Would swear sometime around 1960-63 Hody’s had a really cool neon clown sign (not that billboard-like clown head that was above it in the fifties photos).
Hey Kyle, that location was Hody’s from 1955 to 1969 so that fits with your memories.
