In Downtown Los Angeles along East Fifth Street, from Main to Alameda, there used to be a lively SRO hotel and independent business district, developed in the early 20th century to serve a hard-drinking, hard-working, hard-boiled population, and the pulp fiction novelists, film noir screenwriters, street photographers and art directors who were fascinated by these characters. The Nickel was the nickname for this lost world, and if you were On The Nickel you were definitely having a wild time. With a little luck, you'd even remember it in the morning.

This soft, lightweight t-shirt honors the history of The Nickel with a vintage Liberty head coin design.
