Another Place No Longer There


The Hollywood Inn circa 1937 ( Now Andrews Air Force Base)

George and Bebe lived here and ran The Hollywood Inn, a roadhouse. On the weekends there were fried chicken dinners (fresh caught) dances, and church picnics- at least until 1939 when an electrical fire burned the place to the ground. Everyone got out safely, but only with the clothes (or pyjamas) on their backs. Pictured R to L front are George's brother, Nick, his Aunt Koula, Cousin Baby George A. , his mother, Pota and cousin, Ronnie Cokinos.
Behind Nick are his Uncle Alec, his father, Peter, and his sister Catherine Cokinos. George P Cokinos himself is holding up the rear.
