A Little Shopping on The Sunset Strip, Circa 1967
Here’s a groovy little promo video shot for Belinda’s, a clothing store that existed on The Sunset Strip in the late 60’s.

A night at The Whisky, 1967
The Sunset Strip is the name given to the mile-and-a-half stretch of Sunset Boulevard that passes through West Hollywood. The Strip is the place of rockstar legends and, not coincidentally, the home of The Standard, Hollywood. Whisky a Go Go is one of The Strip’s most notorious clubs. The Whisky is considered the birthplace of go go dancing and, if that wasn’t cool enough, they also had The Doors as their house band for a bit in the mid 60’s. Let’s flip it back a few years and check out a typical night on The Strip circa 1967…
