The Ambassador Hotel, former home of the Cocoanut Grove and site of Robert Kennedy’s assassination, was knocked down on January 16, 2006, one of many landmarks to be razed during the past decade. Curbed LA has compiled a video featuring the Ambassador and several other demolished buildings, including Jayne Mansfield’s iconic Pink Palace, the Casablanca hangar at Van Nuys Airport, Bob’s Big Boy Wilshire, but what seemed to upset the most recent readers who posted comments was the mass banishment of the ficus trees that once dotted Santa Monica Boulevard.
