Babes & Rickys Inn, Los Angeles

Babes & Rickys Inn - From their website, "On Sunday, April 7th, 1996, musicians, young and old, came down to Central Avenue for one last piece of the real blues at Babe's & Ricky's. The jam lasted from noon until dawn, and more than a few tears were shed. As the sun rose over Los Angeles, Laura and her friends knew that their time on Central Avenue was done. They stripped the club and moved all the equipment and fixtures into a large storage space. Then Laura and friends began looking for a new location for the new Babe’s and Ricky’s Inn. Help came in the form of Jonathan Hodges, a prop master in the motion pictures Industry who had been playing at the club on Sunday afternoons since Babe's & Ricky's Inn was the only place that he could and would play Blues music. Jonathan decided to become Laura's partner and saved the club. With help from Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas' office, a closed restaurant in the Leimert park area of the Crenshaw district was found and leased. In August, 1997, sixteen months after leaving Central Ave, Babe's & Ricky's Inn opened its doors once again to the blues fans. And since then it has stayed open, with Laura there every night as she has been since 1963, welcoming customers and doing her part to keep the blues alive."
