I like the archaic graphics on this 'maple' syrup container.

OK this family is on vacation in late June or early July 1948. Grauman's Chinese is showing "The Street With No Name" starring Mark Stevens: "Story of the FBI's battle against the rising post-war CRIME WAVE." |

He also had a .22 pistol in his top drawer. He said he got that from a lady client who was going to use it on her spouse. One like this:.....http://www.engstromauctions.com/July...22%20short.JPG The door originally had a large glass insert and there were two side windows, L & R.

It was quite pungent. |

Not the most enlightening article, but I thought I'd post it anyway. The 1979 photo has 1981 in the file name, so I'm not sure if 1979 is an accurate date. |

What the Heck is this?
While traversing the hills east of Silver Lake Reservoir I came to this fork in the road at Hidalgo Ave. and Bancroft. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/913/1B8ZiN.png GSV I didn't think much of that slanted ladder :previous:, until I moved closer and noticed it was secured at that angle with bungee cords. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/qGFu4q.png GSV ...and on top is something that resembles a stripped down boom box. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/vu4aWe.png GSV On the opposite side of the ladder, there is a sign; but I can't make out what it says. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/n3iitJ.png GSV I'm absolutely stumped by this. Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?? __ |

These new ladders now have the top turned into a holder for paint cans and holes for hammers and brushes. They advise you not to stand on the top of a ladder... |
:previous: I wasn't aware of the newfangled ladders with their fancy functional tops CDB. I don't think they sell them in Indiana. ;)
I would still like to know what the ladder is doing there...and what's in that box. __ This is an amazing photograph, dated 1870! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/tAs73x.jpg ebay "Group of Delegates to State Convention" Y.

I can't find any previous mentions of the Oasis Motel at 2200 W Olympic, so here are two postcards I found on eBay. Both are from the same seller, who dates them at circa 1950s. Historic Aerials seems to have had a makeover since I last used it, and I'll have to get used to the revised interface. Nonetheless, the motel isn't there in the 1952 image, but does appear in the one from 1964.

The sign has acquired a cactus on top, and has partly changed color, but looks pretty original otherwise. The roof sign in the background on the left belongs to the Royal Park Apartments which Flyingwedge covered in post #13658. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...asisMotel5.jpg GSV |
