Prophet: that may be the motel,in all three of the sam cooke bios that ive read they have different names for the motel,Polaris,Webb,and Haicienda,im thinking that two of them were neighboring buildings(Haicienda and Polaris)one of them got torn down..but which one?

and this is my last bit Sam Cooke knowledge,but Earl that was a nice little story,the Ebony showcase was a small 2 story brick building,I passed it all the time while walking home from my friends house.I was surprised when they tore it down and replaced it with a awful looking building that looks like the new pershing square came to mid la in form as a building.But Sams last photograph alive was taken on Dec 6th 1964 at the Ebony.
