It's a wonder the Lido is still standing at Yucca & Wilcox in Hollywood. Los Angeles has always been guilty of tearing down all the buildings that have character.
I didn't know that. I lived on Yucca back in... 92 I think it was. Back before it was somewhat "cleaned up" and the 18th street hang lived there. We always had shootings and shit right outside our apartment. It was crazy. I moved there right after high school to go to MIT for a year... Good times.

Hotel California is one of my favorite albums of all time. Like Janis, The Eagles will never go out of style.
