GENERAL INFORMATION XXI
Just off the Plaza, near Main St., is gay Olvera St., one block long,
a fragment of old Mexico. On Main St. itself, extending several blocks
S. of the Plaza, Mexican establishments predominate. Then the street

movie and burlesque houses, shooting galleries, pawnshops, and honky-
tonks.

many of the outlying communities and cities, including Hollywood,
Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Westwood. Many groups of shops
in both the moderate and higher price brackets may be found along

Santa Monica.
In and beyond Hollywood to Beverly Hills, Sunset Blvd. is dotted
with specialty shops, restaurants and night clubs. This section is locally

Night Clubs
As in all large cities, the quality of Los Angeles after-dark enter-
tainment varies. There is the honky-tonk area of Main Street and
East Fifth Street, where semi-nude "B-girls" have brought Los Angeles
nationwide notoriety by way of national magazine articles. There is
also the fabulously chic Sunset Strip and Hollywood area, even more
widely publicized.
These are the extremes, and most visitors will find a peek at both
interesting. However, the heavy volume of Los Angeles night life
pours through the relatively insignificant neighborhood bars, cocktail
lounges, dine-and-dance establishments. Hundreds of thousands of
Angelenos are acquainted with neither Main Street nor The Strip.
Following is a list, alphabetically arranged, of a few of the more
widely-known clubs. Policies and times of events are those in effect
in the Fall of 1940, and are of course subject to change.
