Not long after I posted a photo of a Hody’s restaurant in Long Beach a couple of days ago, I came across this photo of the Hody’s on the northwest corner of Hollywood and Vine with the Capitol Records building in the background. From the looks of the cars, I’m dating this image circa 1960s (Hody’s was at that location from 1950 to 1969.) I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of the Hody’s sign lit up like that. I wonder if those little light bulbs twinkled.
These days the northwest corner is a parking lot. This image is from December 2017.
Yes, and Dupar’s is gone also
I’m almost 100% certain that’s the parking lot we parked in when we saw “The Book of Mormon” several years ago.
Quite possibly. It’s only half a block away.
