The Ramones At The Tropicana Motel 1977

This photo was taken during a real infancy period for Buzz Foto. We had been photographing Pop Culture for a couple of years already in 1976 when we were introduced to The Ramones. This photo session was done at the classic Tropicana Motel which was located on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. EVERYONE stayed and messed around at The Trop. Some idiot permitted the motel to be torn down and there is a Best Western sitting there today. It should have been declared a national landmark. It would have brought into the City Of West Hollywood more money than Graceland!
