Here's another interesting photograph currently on eBay Seller's description:..."1930'S PHOTO EATON'S STEAK CHICKEN HOUSE RESTAURANT WILSHIRE BLVD LOS ANGELES CA" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/354X2K.jpg eBay The biggest knife and fork I've ever seen. Here's a menu with the Wilshire location at lower left. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/9cPwgk.jpg hmmm. . .the one illus. looks like court yard apartments. What's that all about? :shrug: For comparison here's a closer look at the drawing on the billboard. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/o86TAs.jpg detail It looks like a huge complex. Do you think the project fell through? I'm trying to resist. . .I'm trying to resist. . . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/mS6Vlk.jpg I couldn't resist. :) . |
Those young men on Clanton Street are wearing Zoot Suits.

I was always fascinated by these two apartment buildings.
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1270...7i13312!8i6656 See those hubcap sized circles beside the chimneys? Those were Gold Medallion plaques which indicated the buildings were electric only - none of that relic of the 19th century, natural gas. Then one day the plaques were gone. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1269...7i13312!8i6656 I always wondered if somebody swiped them or if the owner made the unpardonable sin of providing cheaper utilities for the tenants. Also, I don't think I've ever seen giant medallions like these anywhere else. From what I've read, the all-electric gold medallions were small medals or decals or special doorbells. Has anybody else seen one of the giant plaques attached to a building? Here's what they looked like: https://i.postimg.cc/ZRvtbmLV/p16003...67160-full.jpg Huntington Ribbon cutting and presentation of Medallion Home award. 4/1/1963 |

I'll never forget my first trip to Beverly Hills in 1980. I was shocked that so many houses had bars on their windows. Just a bird in a gilded cage? |

Neighborhood transgender bar. (February, 1982) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/3UtUVH.jpg slufty / flickr "The Silver Platter, opened in 1963, in the MacArthur Park area. For over four decades, the bar had become a haven for the city’s Latino transgender community." Does anyone recognize this corner of 7th Street? . |

Here's the screen grab showing the original Hard Rock Cafe For any children reading this, it's on the back side of the Doors' album, Morrison Hotel. Which raised another puzzle which I've been unable to solve. A comment on this page says that it appears in an episode of Adam 12 called "Suspect Number One" which aired on Oct 29, 1974. Season 7, episode 5. It says it's 25 minutes into a 30 minute episode. I'm not seeing it. Any help?? Quote:
