Numbers [original]
Sunset Strip
Hollywood CA
Late 1970s - early 2000s. Who could forget the mirrored staircase? Or those cool ashtrays with the circle of numbers that inspired this design? Popular with 'businessmen' and their 'dates'. According to celebrity gay comedian Bruce V, 'numbers' is slang for 'trick' or 'trade'. Be sure to ask him about his memories of Numbers.
*Not to be confused with the newer 21st century incarnation of Numbers on Santa Monica.
