Is Sunset Strip worth it for history buffs?

DependsFor history

For history & culture, Sunset Strip is hit or miss.

Hallowed ground for music history — the Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy, Viper Room, and the giant hand-painted billboards. By day it's an unremarkable busy boulevard; the Strip only really delivers at night, and the legendary rock-and-roll grit has been heavily polished into upscale bars and hotels.
