Regular at the Sunset Tower here, used to get tossed out on occasion when Elton was in town and wanted to go shopping. They later built one on Piccadilly Circus in London. It has survived, I believe.
I think Elton had a place up in the hills not far from Tower.
Across the street from Tower was a record store called Licorice Pizza, where I would occasionally shop. They advertised heavily on the radio. The voice of Lesley, their spokeswoman, was familiar to pop music fans in the Southland.
