The late comedian Lucille Ball and the owner of Lucy's El Adobe Cafe were recognized for their contributions to Hollywood with the renaming of an intersection to "I Love Lucy Square."
Lucille Ball and Lucy Casado shared the honor Thursday afternoon at the intersection of Melrose Avenue and Plymouth Boulevard near Paramount Studios. Lucille Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz, started Desilu Productions at the cafe in 1951.
Lucy's El Adobe Cafe has become a popular campaign stop for politicians. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown, now the state's attorney general, first met singer Linda Ronstadt at the cafe in the 1970s.
Councilman Tom LaBonge unveiled the square's new sign during an afternoon ceremony.
You must admit Lucy deserves a place named after her...She was the funniest lady in comedy...I still today am a Lucy fan...I still watch all the reruns on TV Land...Even though they are reruns I laugh thru the whole entire show...Today you just dont see the slap stick comedy like you did back in the day...Props go to Lucille Ball we all loved her so much...She still brings laughs to our homes...I hope that she stays on TV for many more years...There are just so many more upcoming generations that will just love her...I watch Lucy in the early am and what a way to start out your day with a good laugh...
