Literally and figuratively, I guess. Indications are it was known world-wide and celebrities could often be seen there. Apparently this location closed several years ago and tried to relocate in another West Hollywood area, briefly changing the name to Digits and then back to Numbers and now closed. I guess, with the advent of computers and the internet, a place like this to meet, gather and exchange info isn’t a necessity anymore? In it’s day it seems that its location was attractive to many men, as if they got a parking ticket, or worse, it wasn’t in a “gay neighborhood.”
