Before
Music Box StepsThe concrete public stairway Laurel and Hardy hauled a piano up in The Music Box, which won the 1932 Academy Award for short comedy. It is still an ordinary right of way between Vendome and the houses above, and there is a small City park called Laurel and Hardy Park in the triangle at the foot of it with a marble plaque put up in 1992. In June 2024 the City Council voted to name the intersection for the film, so there is a street sign now as well.

After
Red Lion TavernTed Mandekic and Edward Pagliano opened this in 1959 as an Olde English pub and turned it German in 1963. It has been in the Mattis family since. Beer comes in one-liter boots and Mass krugs, servers wear dirndls, and there is live music and a piano on the lower floor. The draw for most people is the biergarten patio upstairs.
