Although today it is an unassuming flower shop called L.A. Premier, in the late 60's and early 70's this location was the home to a strip club called The Phone Booth. Jim Morrison lived across the street at the Alta Cienega Motel from 1968 to 1970 and would frequent the strip club to catch up on his poetry.
The exterior of this location can be seen in the unfinished, unreleased, and thoroughly uninteresting film by Morrison, HWY: An American Pastoral (1969).
