The Rockford Files - EPISODE: White on White and Nearly Perfect (1978) filming locations - Blackwood's Strip Joint at 5010 Sunset Blvd - USA Gasoline on Sunset Blvd, "Most Exotic Cat In The World" dancing cage & more

I thought I would never find the location of this strip joint used in the 1978 filming of the Rockford Files... but with some luck I actually located the building where this strip joint actually was once located on Sunset Blvd. 

ABOVE & BELOW PHOTOS: Jim Rockford pulls into the parking lot of "Blackwell's  Disco & Strip Joint". In the below photo the small yellow sign can be seen belonging to this strip joint. BLAZE & AMBER Stripping Nightly. WOW, strippers names really have changed much in 40 years!
