A motorcycle cop hides in an alley or commercial driveway across the street from the Avalon nightclub, near the Capitol Records tower. This is just where the slope of the hill on Vine starts to increase, so northbound cars tend to speed up in order to compensate for the incline. This is also where club kids jaywalk across Vine — eager to get into Avalon — without first pressing the crosswalk button. You’re usually pulled over before you even reach Franklin — a hundred yards up the street!
