Hard Rock Cafe - a photo on Flickriver

Hard Rock Cafe

Another important location in The Doors history is here, at the corner of 5th and Wall Street in Downtown Los Angeles. It's the heart of skid row, 300 E 5th St. For a long time this location was closed and abandoned, but I found out just recently that it was reopened as a little convenient store, the Green Apple Market.

You can see the original pictures that the great Henry Diltz snapped for the Morrison Hotel album (the Hard Rock and Morrison Hotel) at this website:

This corner has been immortalized by The Doors just like the actual Morrison Hotel building, and if you own a copy of the album you can see it there. The first side of the LP is titled "Hard Rock Cafe" after this former location. To see a few recent pictures of the defunct Morrison Hotel, take a look at my full set Jim Morrison & The Doors.
