What's Clark and Hilldale? I thought it might have been the site of a festival held in the 60s, which this song was written about. Or maybe the names of 2 streets. But I have googled it and found nothing.
I'm pretty sure your right about it being street names. Sure I heard Arthur Lee say it was a couple of streets in LA where folks used to hang out back in the day. Don't quote me on that though. lol

There was a great documentary made about Love just before Arthur's death called 'LOVE STORY' and I think he mentioned it in that.

Yea, it's hard to google because it's parallel streets, not an intersection. However, knowing that Love was an LA band, I searched Hilldale and found that "between Clark and Hilldale" is a short stretch of Sunset Boulevard, notably containing the famous Whiskey-A-Go-Go. With the Viper Room, Roxy, and Rainbow Room just a block or two away, this area has basically been the epicenter of LA's music scene for almost 50 years now (although the Silverlake / Echo Park area has become a major player in the past decade or so.)

So yea, I imagine between Clark and Hilldale was a pretty awesome place to hang out in the late 60's.
