The differences between the criss-cross background interest as well. https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3903/3...e79415bf_o.png https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3684/3...73e16a18_o.pngpinterest (By the way, how much do we love Fletcher & Irene?)

Quoted :previous: post before. Of course Dr. John Romulus "bleat" Brinkley steadfastly clung to the title "M.D." versus the ad's "C.D." title, so the pictured ad referred to someone else.

I also begged and pleaded with my mother to have one of those Fizz Nik things. I used it a couple of times, but we almost never had ice cream to put in it so it became sort of useless after that. I do remember that my friends were very impressed that I had one. |

As for the newest look for Fisher's, it appears that it may have been a Mexican restaurant before the sushi people got hold of it. |

<<<<Thanks for the response. Makes sense, yet if I am not mistaken, this construction seems most prevalent in the LB area. Wouldn't the built-in flex reduce pole lifespan? Guy wires might similar sense, but economics probably ruled the decision making>>>
The pix are from above Watts, where Fourtracks ended [and became two two and two to various places], so not Long Beach- that's just the name of the street. But canting poles was done on any number of tracks. No guy wires account the streets are in the way. The poles went in straight, but tilted. Nothing to do with stress in the poles, only deflection, which tends to set with time in wood |

Thank you Flyingwedge and odinthor for finding the photo. I thought there must be a little 1880s single-family home hiding among the trees. I'm always interested in (even temporary) survivors of urbanization (the demo was in 1923):
