Thread: Did you Know the Morrison Hotel is a few blocks away from Staples?

For you Doors fans....a good read here about the photo used for the Morrison Hotel Album.

THE DOORS | WHEN THE MUSIC’S OVER MORRISON HOTEL & HARD ROCK CAFE « The Selvedge Yard

And buried in the comments was this link....

Morrison Hotel....shuttered and near Staples

Next time Im off to Staples may stop by and take a few pictures....

Judging by the photos, it is not recognizable as the same place. Probably be better off walking a few blocks to take some pictures at the Bradbury building.

...no but if you hum a few bars I'll try it.

It's probably being used as a container for human wastes. As hard as they try to civilize the area around Staples there are just some spots that cannot be cleaned.

Yet it still appears to be a much better neighborhood than at the Forum. Go figure.

Great point though....would those few blocks of urban waste be better served as a football stadium?

God no. The street blockage/traffic would just be insane. You remember when the Kings game fell on the same weekend as the auto show. Imagine that x's 10.

Would only be 8 times a year and always on Sunday for a pro team.

Yeah, once the stadium is built. After 2 years of the worst mess imaginable.
