McCadden Place yesterday and having heard that the parking lot sign was gone I wanted to see if the address was maybe still painted on the curb, well not only was the parking lot sign gone but the parking lot was gone and the Burger King on Highland and everything! So if there was even the tiniest drop of ancient rum sealed in some forgotten underground plumbing it is now gone. I know it’s been gone forever but the huge hole was a surprise. But I did find this in a Los Angeles phone directory from 1942 ~ Also this from the 1970 Yellow Pages ~ I love the Don Jose ad above it “Lunch with Don Jose on the banks of the L.A. River.” Hilarious.:lol:
