Jean B,

Yes! The one on Wilshire Blvd, across the street from the Ambassador Hotel
where Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. It's also long gone.

I worked a block away on "SIXTH STREET! WE LOVE IT!"

The neat thing about the Brown derby was from the street, it was just a
giant brown derby. When you walked in you went down a spiral staircase to
the formal dining room. It was great! <sniffle>

Best,

Andy
