The Ash Grove is a historic nightclub that operated on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles from 1958 to 1973 under Ed Pearl. Its colorful history, which includes three fires in which arson is suspected, is told by owner Ed Pearl in a recent issue of Crawdaddy.com (http://crawdaddy.wolfgangsvault.com/Article/Ed-Pearl-Back-to-the-Ash-Grove.html)
