Mickey Cohen calls it QUITS at his Haberdashery in 1949.
In the 50s and early 60s 8004 Sunset Blvd was another mens clothing store called MAN ABOUT TOWN & and then a wig shop called THE HARUM. Notice that the ad for MAN ABOUT TOWN mentions they are one block away from the Jerry Lewis Restaurant (which later became the Classic Cat Strip Club, University Stereo, and Tower Video. That building hung on until it was was demolished in 2014 for a new Chase Bank building)
4th photo: During the late 60s it became the Psychedelic Conspiracy. (The Corner Pocket Pool Hall was next store). It was the most impressive and genuinely
psychedelic of all the shops in Los Angeles. The dazzling effect of the store was achieved by a silver ceiling that reflected light from a complicated deployment of colored lamps above, below and inside some large translucent plastic sculptures made by the then-owner of the shop, Tony Melendy. People would have to adjust his their eyes to the lights & their and sinuses to the thick haze of incense.
5th photo: In the late 1986 all the store fronts were taken down to built offices for Carolco Pictures. The address then became 8500. Jose Menendez was working for Carolco Pictures when his two sons, Lyle & Erik Menendez murdered him and his wife Kitty in 1989.
Last photo: Today it’s the IAC Building, which kinda looks like a giant Chia Pet.
Things sure have changed
