:previous: There was an episode of Mannix that took place there when it was a drug rehab clinic. Does anyone remember that episode? Update: I found it! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/uV0QMx.jpg The episode was 'Delayed Action'. Season 1, Episode 22 (aired on March 2, 1968) Only a few scenes were shot on location. If I remember correctly it's a pretty good episode. . |

Here's an amazing original photograph of the. . . Shepherd-Campbell Co. Service Station, 2500 Figueroa Avenue, Los Angeles. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/9dHyOo.jpg Link An arch this wide must be full of rebar - otherwise it would crumble in the slightest earthquake. This image differs from the other photographs we have seen of this station. You can view them Here . |

This one is a mystery location. The same eBay seller also has this original photograph of a much more modest gas station. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/rZrcpl.jpg Link Luckily, there are some clues. Here are two of them https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/DzYghq.jpg detail A sign for cinema equipment (and a tailor) on the left....And the street number #102 on the right. Good luck minions! . |

One more mystery location for today. Los Angeles Street, 4x5 Photo Negative from 1970 #210222l https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/1HGSLo.jpg eBay (no longer listed) There is one worthless slight clue. . . a sign on the building. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/IIwJdv.jpg detail but it's very blurry. I don't believe the seller means "Los Angeles Street", per se, because all their negatives of Los Angeles say Los Angeles Street, 4x5 Photo Negative 1970 and then a number code. You can see some of them Here . |

It's been a long time since I've posted here, about 6 years to be exact. I wanted to point out, (if you have not already done the same thing), that I took a look at the seller's other listing, and found what looks to me to be the same location, facing the opposite direction. I can't make out the signs, however, I'm hoping someone else may be able to. UPDATE: Hmmm, apparently I can only add a link to the photo, and not the photo itself. *sigh* https://www.ebay.com/itm/Los-Angeles...p2047675.l2557 |

So I believe this is a photo of the intersection of Torrance Blvd & Van Ness, looking West towards the intersection. The area is completely changed now, everything around having been built or re-built from the early 1980s. However, looking at historic aerials, there does appear to have been a L-shaped building near that intersection similar to ER's photo. Long gone, I have no idea what it was. |

Excellent collaboration Sakhal Nakhash & Arch2000! :worship: I saved the photograph it before it disappeared. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/pPXSGw.jpg eBay Now I'm curious about this sign. (sorry, I can't help myself) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/Zj8Pdu.jpg detail Thank again for your help! . |

Doug, if you don't like a topic it doesn't mean that others don't find it interesting. KevinW was right to call you out on your snide remark about the possiblity that circus paintings were incorporated into the Beckman Furs sign. I fully expect that you will now attack me. Instead, you could start a discussion on a subject that you find interesting. That would be most welcome. Thanks Doug . |

Tourists visit RKO Studios in Culver City. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/cytlwz.jpg The RKO sign matches the neo-Colonialism of the administration building in the background but, honestly, I thought the sign would have been a bit fancier. I don't see any small floodlights on the ground to light up the sign at night. I wonder if there is neon around the border of the sign (similar to the neon around the 'circus' paintings on the, recently discussed, Beckman Furs sign. (I took a closer look. I think it's probably wood molding and not neon) As most of you know the administration building (behind the sign) is shown (most famously) at the beginning of Gone With the Wind when it was the administration building of Selznick International Studios. If I remember correctly there was a hanging sign back then. (or maybe that was just for the movies) :shrug: . |
I've been tuning into this thread for over 11 years. I'm not aware of any arguing here in all that time that hasn't involved CityBoyDoug or his former persona (and current, elsewhere on the internet), DouglasUrantia. Interesting how that's worked.
A wider view of the RKO building. The sign's pediment matches the building's. https://i.postimg.cc/7LB1nJh2/rkobldg-bmp.jpg |

I visited this house yesterday. Lots more greenery around it including the tree (bare in this photo). It felt quite shady. (A good thing.) Was a lovely setting. And there it's been hiding in plain sight all this time! |

Comments & Memories: 1. Ocean cargo ships pre-container era. They used to hire more dockworkers to unload them. The old freighters were tiny compared to modern container ships. 2. L.A. International future version opened in 1961, and V.P. Lyndon Johnson came to town for the grand opening in 1961. I was there...with my parents. It was a big deal. We took photos but I can't find them. Maybe someone can find & post some of the grand open pics with LBJ. I remember LBJ didn't smile much. I think Polson was still mayor & Johnson looked bored. A year or two earlier Khruschev came to town and got mad when Disneyland wouldn't let him visit. He also got into a shouting match with mayor Polson. I remember the Herald Examiner used to call Khruschev "Mr. K". 3. The opening of Disneyland in '55 was a mess..it was hot, the asphalt melted, not enough food, long lines, rides broke down. We went a few weeks later and most of the gremlins were gone. It was fun but very crowded. 4.If the photograper had of panned a bit right, the lovely Richfield tower would be visible. Gasometer upper right. Mystery...where is the turreted old Hall of Records? Is it hidden by one of the other buildings? There is a building to the left of city hall in front of the federal courthouse, but it doesn't look quite like the H of R....but maybe it is. |

Deutsche Übersetzung
Per Mister_Vintage's request:
https://i.imgur.com/LymrIYs.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1AMm7hT.jpg This one says: "Orient and Occident" "Camels wait at a Union Pacific station at Indio, California, USA, to take travelers to an oasis in the middle of a stretch of desert near Los Angeles." There are some mistakes/typos in the original but this is what I think was meant. |

Just posted to YouTube, another of those digitally remastered, colorized, sound added clips....this one has 25 young ladies travelling out here in 1929 to meet Mary Pickford, as a promotion for her first sound picture....not really much L.A. footage, but we do see the Mt. Lowe Railway, and the final shot of the girls boarding a train, which should please all you gasometer fans.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuCXFt52SNs |

I have talked about a return to circular horn rimmed glasses now that we are in the '20s again. Maybe women will start wearing the helmet-like cloche hats again? I want to see a full Roaring '20s by the time we get out of this pandemic and people are ready to let lose and party again...certainly by the '28 Olympics :wiseman: |

"I do miss the Bastille-castle-like old Hall of Records (almost as much as the Richfield tower). But the odd angle because of the old street layout got in the way of the civic mall plans, and maybe it was not up to seismic codes, so it had to go I suppose. Still, I miss it. At least we still have the Daily Planet, I mean City Hall."
I wish they would design and build buildings like that these days. Every year I am increasingly disgusted by what passes as architecture. In fact it seems more like a race to the bottom. Uglier and uglier buildings, constructed out of the cheapest material, with the minimalist of design and effort. And somehow people, not only accept these "buildings", they actually seem to like the laziness and lack of taste for some reason. /rant. :tantrum: |
UPDATED: I spoke with Tiny's son Biff, who tells me the googie-style building was a dinner house NEXT TO the Tiny Naylor's at Sunset and La Brea. He identified it on this aerial.

Maybe this is why nobody has heard of this place. Did this restaurant only last one year?! Looks like it was sold to Stephen Crane to become a Kon Tiki restaurant in 1959. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...16aa3c5f_z.jpg Los Angeles Evening Citizen News 10/24/59 Is this "House of Naylor" at "Wilshire and La Cienega" a different angle of the same building? The dates don't add up. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6d2a012b_b.jpg Los Angeles Evening Citizen News 11.14.57 What a stellar architectural lineup. My all-time favorites: Eldon Davis, Helen Fong, and Hans and Betsy Werner. The dream team behind Pann's. Helen Fong was recently profiled by Smithsonian magazine: https://savingplaces.org/stories/thr...e#.YEO6EhNKiZ0 I've confirmed the address of "House of Naylor" as 38 N. La Cienega, which was Benihana from 1971-2015. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0207217c_z.jpg GSV In 1965 it was San Francisco Joe's. Neither it or the tiki joint lasted very long. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...bf9fa82b_z.jpg Los Angeles Evening Citizen News 7.30.65 Quote:
