Hollywood Then and Now - August 2021

 

If you watch TCM, you surely must know what Schwab's Drugstore is.   Back in the 40s and 50s, it was the place to be in Hollywood.   The legendary "Sunset Boulevard" has a scene set in the popular gathering place.  Allegedly, it was the place where Lana Turner was discovered...sitting at the counter in a tight sweater.

Sounds like a great place.   Naturally, it closed in 1983.   Five years later, it was demolished to build this mall which exists to this very day.

Because we need another CVS Pharmacy?

Dinner last night:  Salad.
