Noir Noir, that's an amazing photogragh! I don't remember seeing the interior of the Dome Cafe. It's awesome. It appears C. Fred Harlow also owned a "roadhouse" in Culver City. It was seized by the federal authorities in 1921. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/ilByoS.jpg I didn't realize the federal government could seize property under the Volstead Act. I'm posted this LARGE for easier reading. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/9pJoHr.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/y7Xum6.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/J825h6.jpg Los Angeles Herald Feb. 15, 1921 Here are the three other interesting places in hot water: ......The Castle Inn (Ocean Park)........The Tumble Inn (on the highway) What highway?.....and Baron Long's Vernon Country Club. Baron Long and the Vernon Country Club rings bell or two. - Unless I'm mistaken it had a training area for boxers & held boxing matches(?) The Tumble Inn rings half a bell. The Castle Inn rings no bell at all. . |

No fireworks, but: Moviegoers Rejoice as Rose Bowl Turns Into Drive-In Theater This Weekend The Rose Bowl in Pasadena will not have a fireworks display this holiday weekend, but it is host to the latest drive-in movie theater in Southern California. Story with video: https://abc7.com/rose-bowl-drive-in-...adena/6294184/ It's $30 per car, no matter how many are in the car. I know someone who attended there last night, but haven't spoken with them about it yet. As for all the cancelled fireworks shows: With Most Firework Shows Canceled, SoCal Residents Set Off Their Own 4th of July Celebrations Although fireworks are illegal in the city of Los Angeles and all firework displays are banned in L.A. County this year, that didn't stop residents on Saturday night, putting citizens in danger. The Los Angeles Fire Department said it responded to over 100 fires, including 29 structure fires, 12 brush and tree fires and 116 rubbish fires. It's unclear if fireworks were responsible for all them but the department tweeted "Fireworks are not toys." Story with videos: https://abc7.com/society/illegal-fir...a-sky/6298951/ I think it was just to celebrate NLA and E_R's birthday! Was this going on in other cities and towns? |

e_r, Here's the back of the postcard . . .
https://i.postimg.cc/Nj7WMtpH/Harlow-Caf-Rev001.jpg odinthor collection I believe that the newspaper article you noticed made what we call, in technical journalese parlance, a boo-boo in referring to 2nd St., as I can't find any other references to Harlow having a rink on 2nd St. The cafe itself was being overhauled: https://i.postimg.cc/dQkpCr5v/Harlow...er-16-2-22.jpg LA Herald, 2/22/1916 And Harlow had looked for local talent for the show: https://i.postimg.cc/vBHMMTyT/Harlow...er-16-2-18.jpg LA Herald, 2/18/1916 Ice Rinks seem to have been all the rage at the time. Within a few months, there were no fewer than three: At Harlow's Cafe, as we saw; and then . . . at the Alexandria: https://i.postimg.cc/bw33Wwm3/Harlow...AT-16-4-20.jpg LA Times, 4/20/1916 And the Bristol Cafe: https://i.postimg.cc/xjzp8Yd1/Harlow...AT-16-2-27.jpg LA Times, 2/27/1916 And then there's . . . https://i.postimg.cc/zfQpDPZh/Harlow...AT-16-4-26.jpg LA Times, 4/26/1916 Harlow was feeling generous. He had just given a free Christmas dinner to 150 local children: https://i.postimg.cc/Bbj0LzXG/Harlow...-15-12-26a.jpg LA Times, 12/26/1915; Harlow smiling at right, wife Lulu Bell benignly presiding over the youngsters, and I suspect son Roy is the grinning young gentleman immediately next to Harlow. The young gent farther back, behind both Mrs. Harlow and Roy, seems to be having a moment of dubiety about the whole enterprise. (The partial pic at bottom concerns an unrelated event.) The needy were selected, with the help of Harlow's son Roy: https://i.postimg.cc/NG3VkFnX/Harlow...-15-12-26b.jpg LA Times, 12/26/1915 |

Here is a beauty contestant winner wearing, what I believe to be, a 'Swim Easy' bathing suit. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/AjXGfD.jpg old file / worthpoint Her name is Marie McDonald and she placed third. The mystery here is the VP on her elaborately stitched swimsuit. REVERSE https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/2GPMWq.jpg KEYSTONE PHOTO SERVICE 1231 South Olive Street LOS ANGELES I haven't any information on this photo but it's fun to look at nevertheless. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/KJiHgD.jpg If you look closely "Swim Easy" is stitched along the hem of the swimsuits. . |
Before we get too far removed from the Noll & Company dice and gambling equipment manufacturer. (they of the tragic nitro-cellulose dice which killed three employees. Link)
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/BbLJmW.jpg Noll & Company ____________________________________________________________ Here is another Los Angeles based dice/gambling manufacturer. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/L4y6xV.jpg trking.com T.R.King and Co. 123 E. 6th Street Los Angeles, California. . . . . . . . . The TR stands for Teddy Roosevelt and the King part is for the crown style molds they used for their chips. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/vLI5zQ.jpghttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/6gECni.jpg This chip is soooooo cool! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/Y0PUqB.jpg Some history: The company was started in Kansas City in the 1920s by Milton C. Anderson. in 1931, the company moved to Los Angeles, California. They first set up shop on South Olive street. (I don't know when it moved to Sixth St.) The company changed hands in 1956. "In 1956 Anderson wanted to sell his company. He approached his salesman, Paul Endy, Sr., who along with a partner, George Davies, agreed to buy TR King." I found this very interesting. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/okbfpr.jpg trking.com The company was eventually banned from selling chips in Nevada because of their illegal chips.

How much do you think that cake weighed? (Answer at bottom) The only description with this photo (other than the 1/19/34 date) is "Carl Laemmle, Sr., presenting piece of birthday cake to Carl Laemmle, Jr.". However, I believe the guy in the cowboy hat is western star Ken Maynard. In 1934, Maynard and his then-wife Mary were living at 315 S. Las Palmas Avenue. Here's a photo of Maynard from 1962 (the caption is cut off on the original): https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Historic Images Outlet Maynard tripped on a step in 1971 ("I was sober, too.") and injured a leg. He died in 1973. Back to the cake . . . whoever guessed 67 pounds . . . you win! https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds January 18, 1934, Los Angeles Times @ ProQuest via LA Public Library |

1356 S. Flower
I made an inquiry with (ghost) Councilman Huizar's office to see if the brick building would be included in the new project. Here is the reply from city planning:
"...The project located at 1334-1356 South Flower Street was approved under City Planning Case No. DIR-2017-4-TDR-SPR in December 2018. The approved plans associated with the case contain the brick facade. As far as we are aware, there has been no change requests or a new filing for this property. The proposal depicted and described on the UrbanizedLA website is a different use and design so that would necessitate a new filing as the change would not be in substantial conformance." If any of you see construction there, let me know and I will follow up with the council office. Quote:

A mystery location. I keep coming across this slide on eBay & each time I pause & wonder where this bus terminal was located. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/8dUvVX.jpg eBay "Los Angeles Bus Terminal Gray Line 1989 Original 35mm Slide"................................................. I've also been tring to figuring out the different stops on the tour. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/D08NM8.jpg detail I think I've figured out the Hollywood Tour: HOLLYWOOD PLAZA KNICKERBOCKER ROOSEVELT (HOTEL) The Santa Monica Tour is much more difficult to figure out: SANTA MONICA umm. . .BAR (?) err. . . ? hmmm. . . . ? I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the touristy dude in the striped shorts. (very 1980s) :) . |
