Move your mouse over the picture to see how the street used to look.
The
historical picture is a detail
from the cover of "John Lee Hooker: The Legendary Modern Recordings 1948 - 1954", The songs were recorded
when he was plying his trade up and down these mean streets.

The Cozy Corner (1935 - 1950) was at 4100 Hastings just North of Alexandrine. It's the empty field behind the car.
After their engagements elsewhere were over, Gene Krupa, Roy Eldridge, and Benny Goodman
would jam here. J.C. Heard was in the house band, and was "discovered" at the Cozy.
