These Stars on the street are for several reasons. One is to orient members of a parade they are in the middle of the street. Another is used for aerial mapping. There may be others too. |

mystery location. SELLER'S DESCRIPTION:..."Vtg 1950s 35mm Slide Los Angeles Lifeguard Old Wooden RINCON ROCKET Surfboard" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/iBNRH6.jpg EbAY This slide was about to be a 'mystery' location but then I noticed the building across the street. Look familiar? Yep, it's Carl's Drive-In. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/jSW8xK.jpghttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/xGOES7.jpg and the surfer is behind the recently discussed Lighthouse Restaurant, HERE. Is anyone familiar with RINCON ROCKET surfboards? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/DFd26H.jpg detail . |

"This image is from a collection of over one thousand 35mm negatives made in 1984 by an amateur photographer known only as “B. Mason.” They were subsequently abandoned, and later discovered in an Echo Park garage in 2005, in a stack of withered, moldy envelopes from different one-hour photo labs. Hidden inside those envelopes was an encyclopedic collection of exotic dancers from the 1980s at several downtown Los Angeles venues: The Dragon Lady, The Cameo and The Last Call." vintage.es I only have a photograph of the 'Dragon Lady'. I'm still looking for'The Cameo' and 'The Last Call'. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/Np2mEq.jpg B. Mason vintage.es This was also going to be a mystery location but luckily. . . . the Dragon Lady is listed in the 1987 city directory. (no other directory) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/a4bOhx.jpg lapl / 3604 W. 6th St. The storefront is looking much better these days. (it's in the refurbished Hotel Normandie) 2019 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/Q5kUCQ.jpg GSV for easy comparison. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/6EtNIE.jpg B. Mason This is the only 'dancer' photo that I could match with the Dragon Lady. The lava rock on the interior wall matches the lava rock on the exterior. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/lcdzs6.jpg vintage.es Is this too risque? If anyone thinks so I'll delete it. Go HERE to see additional photographs of the interiors of the clubs (and the dancers) (I believe photo #12 is also the interior of the Dragon Lady) . |

Columbia Batman drives a 1949 Mercury convertible throughout, but in one instance, when the need arose, Robin showed up in a 1949 Mercury four-door sedan, which is apparently his own; meanwhile, the Wizard drives a 1949 Mercury two-door sedan; Winslow Harrison drives a 1949 four-door Lincoln sedan; and the cops use a number of 1949 Fords, all of them products of the Ford Motor Co., which must have had the only new-car dealership in Gotham City. The Wizard's henchmen make a lot of use out of a 1941 Lincoln eight-passenger sedan, while Vicki Vale must make the best of it with a 1939 Plymouth convertible. https://66.media.tumblr.com/e98a13b5...io8o1_500.gifv Columbia Production 1949 "As usual on a Katzman production," note Harmon and Glut, "the low budget showed everywhere in money-saving shortcuts, and inadequacies." The Batman costume had a poorly fitting cowl and the Robin costume added pink tights to cover the "hairy legs" of both the actor and the stuntman. The Batmobile is again excluded, but instead of a limousine as in the first serial, the duo drive around in a 1949 Mercury |

Was this filmed in Griffith Park, near Traveltown? Kind of reminds me of that area. Or maybe the Tujunga Wash? Pretty cheezy low budget look. But in all fairness, nothing was cheezier than the special effects in the "Flash Gordon" serials. |

HONEY BOYS for Valentines Day. I happened upon this photograph of a window display a few weeks ago. "VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPH - FEDERAL BAKERY - HONEY BOY COOKIES - LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA PHOTO." I'm confused by the mention of a "Federal Bakery". (a subsidized bakery?) :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/kpjMaC.jpg eBay The Honey Boys lined up in front appear to be holding little suitcases. ;) Also note the large, ogre-looking Honey Boy wearing striped pants. I feel bad for the criminal Honey Boys along the top that have all been hanged. Just now. .I happened upon this second photograph, also from Los Angeles, that refers to a "Federal System of Bakeries". (note the sign) "VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPH 1920 FEDERAL SYSTEM OF BAKERIES LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA PHOTO." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/0NZPrO.jpg eBay Has anyone heard of a "Federal Systems of Bakeries"? . |
