The Cockatoo Inn/Hotel
Closed in 1996, the site's main claim to fame since is the filming of various lounge scenes from the Quentin Tarantino Film, "Jackie Brown, staring Pam Grier and Samuel L. Jackson.
Additionally, this was the location where Thomas Cavanagh, a defense contractor engineer with Northrup in Pico Rivera, offered to sell secrets on U.S. radar deflecting stealth bombers to two undercover FBI agents posing as KGB officers in late 1984.
The Inn was torn down in 2005 and replaced by a new 300 room hotel.
