Seventh & Alvarado, four blks. south of the (no longer there) Pioneer Chicken at Third & Alvarado referenced in this sad number.UPDATE (not much later): Further research (the bane of today's modern typist) indicates the Pioneer Chicken in the tune may be a different one than the Third & Alvaradowherever the hell location we were thinking of. That one was right near the the Royal Viking Motel, & there was plenty action there too. Or not. It's been a while.
More research brings us: [I recently heard this song for the first time on a Zevon anthology purchased at the Virgin Megastore for half-off. In the notes, Zevon says nitpickers always tell him there wasn't a Pioneer Chicken stand on Alvarado. -- DA]
Huh, a nitpicker makes an error. Do not pick on us.
