Re: SOUTH BROADWAY AFTER DARK

The Rialto is now an Urban Outfitters, but the building is still there. The theater itself wasn't that large compared to other L.A. downtown theaters, but it was said to have the longest marquee on Broadway.

Re: KRAKATOA WEST OF VINE

Krakatoa is actually WEST of Java, but that's Hollywood! {Pedanticism=ON} Any two points on the surface of a globe which do not lie on the same line of longitude are both east and west of each other. It is simply a matter of how far you wish to travel when going from one to the other. {Pedanticism=...
