When was “Boulevard” changed to ‘Huggy Boy"?

There is or was another “Huggy Boy” sign I think somewhere also on Whittier Blvd. Anyone know where exactly?

I just heard on the channel 13 news a few minutes ago….the great Huggy Boy has past away. Damn, that’s sad. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was about 20 years old at the L.A. County Fair where KRLA was broadcasting from. He put my date and me on the air and joked with us while on the air because my date wanted to have him play “Tonight is the night” by Betty Wright. He said..“so tonights the night?

His passing is the end of one of the great, old time L.A. icons.

Ay te watcho Huggy…!
