Afternoon At Jack's

Acrylic paint on canvas.  30" x 30"

The Sunset Strip in West Hollywood was home to gangsters in the roaring ‘20s and during the 1930’s through the 1950’s it was the glamorous thoroughfare and playground for Hollywood stars. Jack's Drive-In on Sunset Strip was located somewhere in the vicinity of Sunset and Sherbourne. In 1944 it was one of several Dolores’ Drive-Ins in the Southland. By 1952, it was Jack’s Drive-In home of the “Big” Jackburger. However, Jack’s on the strip didn’t last long; by the early 1960s, the site was home to an Earl “Madman” Muntz Stereo-Pak shop installing early car stereos, and by 1970 it was Tower Records.
