I didn't see the strip club, but did see the Carl Jr. I wonder if the strip club used to have breakfast??

Not sure if Nude Nude Nudes is still there. Nude club to be stripped from future parking lot - The Daily Breeze I guess that's progress.

yeah, it wasn't there when I went to LA a few weeks ago. I was like "Wha? Where's the nude nude nude sign?" It was there for years and years, now gone. Almost sad if you think about it. A lot of people considered it an LA landmark really. Although I have to admit, in the 25 years I've been going to LA, I've never been in there. Always meant to though. Closest I ever came was when we had breakfast at the Carl's jr. next door en route to LAX. Oh well, guess I missed my chance.

Anyone know why a bunch of residential lots near LAX are empty? If you look at the curved neighborhood northwest of Century and La Cieniga, there are a bunch of streets in there with empty lots and a couple of scattered homes? Look around west 99th street and Hindy Avenue.

If I'm not mistaken, LAX embarked on a purchase plan of all those properties a few years ago because they're in the flight path. I don't recall if anyone was forced to move, but most took a sales and relocation package. Haven't heard anything about it in a long time though. When I first moved back to LA in the early 80's, I lived in one of the apartments in that area.

Looks like we know what that area will be used for:

"But more recently, an area known as Manchester Square has become the preferred location. It is bounded by Century Boulevard on the south, Aviation Boulevard on the west, Arbor Vitae Street on the north and La Cienega Boulevard on the east. "

It was, actually, a nice little area if you didn't mind the planes flying overhead. I had a comfortable 1BR place with full kitchen and garage there, off Aviation just south of Arbor Vitae, for around $400 in the early 80s.
