I had no idea that Two Guys had stores in California. There was one in Atlantic City when I was a kid.

I recall exploring this building when I was in Seattle a few years ago. Even as a Banana Republic, the building is fascinating.

Season 2 of Hill Street Blues, first episode, had an extended scene in the hotel next to the Optic. The marquee was green and white, as opposed to red and white as seen in the opening credits of the Rockford Files. There was also an adult book store next to the theater.
