The Brig
(Credit: Howard Wise)

The retro illustration of a boxer in briefs (ha!) used to look over the boulevard’s most popular dive bar, sawdust and all. The dude is still there—as well as the optical-illusion-inducing mural on the side wall—but a recent renovation gutted the old to bring in the poppy, futuristic angles of any generic Hollywood club. The new space is still packed to the gills, just with a different batch of kids and industry types, while old-timers look on and grumble. There goes the neighborhood.
