I'm pretty certain that's not Rosemary Clooney at Villa Capri trying to duck the camera. Even the comparison photo on the right doesn't look like her -- a publicity shot designed to make her more svelte and photogenic. The real question... whose baby is Jayne Mansfield handling? (Hungry babies were often attracted to Jayne. It went with the job.) |
Could someone please explain to me what's going on in this photograph?

1801 Wilshire & 2711 Wilshire

http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...z.jpg~original December 1908 Architectural Record @ HathiTrust ______________________ 1801 Orange Street (later 1801 Wilshire) was built in early 1902 by Dr. Francis Bartlett Kellogg (1855-1944), who was an "oculist and aurist": http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...l.jpg~original January 1902 Pacific Coast Journal of Homeopathy @ Google Books It was on the NW corner of Orange and Burlington: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...r.jpg~original 1906 Sanborn @ ProQuest via LAPL You can just barely make out "Orange St" on the sign in front of 1801 Orange Street: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...v.jpg~original December 1908 Architectural Record @ HathiTrust Although by December 21, 1917, Dr. Kellogg had moved, he still owned 1801 Orange and on that day got a building permit to "make two flats on main floor." The work was also written up in the Southwest Builder and Contractor on December 28, 1917: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...6.jpg~original Google Books We get a post-remodel glimpse of 1801 Wilshire at the top of this 1929 photo looking east on Wilshire. It looks like those cool front porch columns are gone: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...z.jpg~original DW-1929-08-10-69 @ USCDL We can see the corner of 1801 Wilshire's roof out the window in this shot posted by e_r: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=24234 Lorendoc ID'd 1801 Wilshire in e_r's photo: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=24259 I'm not quite sure when the building was torn down -- perhaps not until the 1960s -- but it was converted from flats into offices in 1944. There's nothing there now: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...u.jpg~original GSV Aug 2015 |

Early thread postings picked from the LIFE files but quite a bit were overlooked. (To be sure, there is somewhat unavoidable redundancy, or apparent redundancy since some images are different frames from the same film roll or a/n image/s from reversed negatives.) Of particular focus is a March 1949-series exploring LA's rush-hour traffic. http://images.google.com/hosted/life...2f4bd846c.html
If the traffic weren't bad enough, the camera compresses the action, where buses, street cars, autos, pedestrians and lost pets politely compete for the same pavement. Fortunately, with the advent of "hands free smart phones," and "highway hypnosis" traffic is a distant memory. :pinocchio: :drummer: http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/7ae70cab39017b08_large http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/6ea8d864c1fdaef2_large http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/5e740622f4bd846c_large http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/01e31b8343307710_large http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/548d7cc5ed14cd1e_large http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/6efc4ecbc55fa60f_large Pan Pacific ad on Figueroa http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/23ba6771b6965928_large Pasadena by sun up? http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/70ea17df276cf47d_large Pasadena Fwy (Making good time.) http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/deaa66448d3feb9d_large :previous: Warp drive http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/981d1c65330c3f3c_large Cahuenga (Monkey Island adjacent) pass. http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/1c50462f1ac63e48_large Cahunga 2 http://www.gstatic.com/hostedimg/3f250ce83ae29c0b_large |

Man and young lad walk Great Dane in Los Angeles. (I believe that's the Hollywood Athletic Club building down the street)
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/kosQIz.jpg eBay I wonder if that's their car blocking the sidewalk? (maybe the dog had to take an emergency poo-poo ;) & there was no place to park) __ Thanks Hoss & MichaelRyerson for the rather humorous explanations for the car vs. utility pole photo. I like how the tow-truck driver was just standing there scratching his head. |
