it looks like the thing is right on this restaurant Tender Greens. my old office was right at that intersection of washington and culver.
parking garage, starbucks, some new age hippie yoga place, a new restaurant was being built when we moved in december. the hare krisnas are just up the block at venice and watseka.
This appears to be the building the little doohickey is actually pointing to, this doesn't help me any but maybe it will someone else ... I can't even pick up a number on the building.
Maybe the corner itself is renowned? "On this spot at age nine, Tupac was shot for the very first time, with a water pistol, by Koji Harmon." Besides, I'm sure that if S7 were gonna open another branch, it would be in South Beach!
Ok I'm just speculating like everyone else. Munky King is going to start as LA S7 distributor on the 31st with an opening party. The MK site says that the Chinatown MK store will be closing at months end and moving to a new location. So, new MK store, new S7 distribution site?
that building is now a restaurant. to the left is a large parking garage. around the corner are several eateries and there is a small gallery there. MK Melrose will be the S7 distro site. i'm sure this has nothing to do with MK. Keep the guesses coming Connell!
Trust me when I say this will be the most entertaining event we have ever thrown. Take the day off, dive to SF from far away, and spend the evening with Super7. What we have planned is so over the top we are going to have to close the shop on Saturday to get ready.
Cool building---I love the rounded off corner! Is Mr. Flynn fulfilling his childhood dream of being head fry cook at his own restaurant? Serve up some wicked squirm-tacos and matango soup, alongside the hedorah cocktail...all available at the Super7 Diner
After Culver City incorporated in 1917, the City Trustees went about the business of legislating for city operation. One such action in 1919, Resolution No. 57, appointed Dr. Foster Hull as the second City Health Officer, replacing Dr. Mortensen. The Hull Building was built by the same Dr. Hull in 1925 to be the first hospital in Culver City. It became a victim of the Depression in the 1930s but was acquired by Louis Freeman, whose family still retains ownership. Although the uses have changed numerous times over the years, the Hull Building retains most of its original character. Its many occupants have included Freeman Furniture, the Sunset Drug, Ed Tinger's Culver City Flowers, Al Simon's Sada's Flowers, Kamin's Shoes, a boarding house on the second floor, the Bank of Orange County, and Italian restaurants-Riccardo's Restaurant, Bella Pasta and San Gennaro. Office space over the years housed Dauber Security and space for production companies, including Sony Pictures. Many have fond recollections of Joe Wellington who owned Sunset Drugs after Chudacoff. That corner drug store had a soda fountain where young people like Clarita Marquez Young learned to make and serve the most popular drink: Coca-Colas. By Council action, the Hull Building was awarded Landmark status under Chapter 38 of the Municipal Code, which deals with Historic Preservation. The outside of the structure is protected, although it probably would not be a candidate for the National Register of Historic Places due to the alterations of the windows. There has been an approved alteration, which required a Certificate of Appropriateness in 1997. The architecture is recognized as Neo-Classical in style, with construction materials of tan and rose colored brick. Fortunately, the Bank of Orange County, a tenant in 1978, gutted the Hull Building to bring it up to earthquake standards. This explains its minimal damage from the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Some bricks dislodged and fell during the temblor. Coincidentally, there was a building in the block west of The Culver Studios,with brick. That structure was being demolished for the construction of the new Culver Studios Office Building. With careful examination by owner Sony Pictures, it was determined that the bricks were not only similar, but made by the same manufacturer as those in the Hull Building. Sony Pictures saved enough brick for the Freeman family to make the needed repairs. The Hull Building was recognized by the Culver City Historical Society as Historic Site Number Two as you can see by the plaque on the building. Louis Freeman's son, Bert Freeman, was in attendance at the marking and his grandson, Stu Freeman of Freeman Property Management, took over from his father.
