It might have been their original location.
If I remember correctly, the street was Overland Ave. (I worked in a building just inside the Overland Gate at MGM) -so it makes sense.
Before I found out it was a strip bar I thought it was a furniture store. (you know, Chippendale's..like the famous chairs) lol
Did I dream this location?  Was Chippendales really located in Culver City? (not exactly a hot spot back in the 1980s)
So far, I haven't found any proof that Chippendales was located in Culver City. (this would have been before they became world famous)
I eventually switched to Robertson Blvd. as my escape route.

That's only 100 yards north of the building you posted, e_r. It's now an adult day care.

Here's a screengrab I made of the sign.

I worked in Culver City from about 1977-1983 and I recall going by the Chippendales place, but like
E_R, I don't recall this sign! I don't think I was by there at night, though.
If memory serves, that area is the "Palms" section of Los Angeles.
