The Home of RAYMOND CHANDLER and a group of fictional yuppies that Chandler would have skewered in a sentence or two.

El Patio
4616 Greenwood Pl., Los Angeles, CA
Noir writer Raymond Chandler did indeed once live in this East Hollywood apartment court just below the fashionable Los Feliz, but the place is remembered today under quite a different name, 4616 Melrose Place, ostensibly a location in trendy West Hollywood and the exteriors for the eponymous Aaron Spelling nighttime soap opera of the 1990s.


The 1990s gang's all here:

  1. Back in 1989 I lived on Dracina Drive about a half bloock from the Chandler place. Hated when Melrose was shooting exteriors because they would block Greenwood and take up all the surrounding zparking spots. I did manage to get in the craft service line and get fed a couple of times. Fair is fair.
