The photo of Jackson's/The Bottle Shop is dated in a few places online as May, 1957. FYI.

Do you remember when we discussed the stand-alone ice machines. The discussion began when I posted this snapshot taken by a Russian visitor to Los Angeles. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/pIRi1I.jpg Post #51722 At the time I asked if neighborhoods had their own ice machines. Scott Charles answered back "They sure did!" and included this photograph from the 1970s. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/gxO2Oz.jpg Post #51719 A couple of weeks ago I posted screengrabs from a short film found in the Huntley Archives. (Nutburgers) Another film in the archive includes a segment that shows a person using one of these neighborhood ice machines. (identical to the one in the Russian eBay photo) This is where it gets interesting: Much to my surprise, the person who walks up and purchases a block of ice (and lugs it away!) is none other than Jean Harlow! Here is the sequence: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/8s3r8m.jpg Jean walks into the frame. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/egHZxM.jpg She places the coins in the slot. . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/YN2V0D.jpg And glances down to where the ice somes out. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/LW24UL.jpg Kerplunk! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/7lEbqI.jpg Jean bends down to retrieve the block of ice. . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/7X8alP.jpg and walks away mumbling something about killing her agent. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/zlcDMK.jpg You can watch the 8:47 minute film. HERE. (the riveting Harlow Ice Machine segment begins at 3:26) There are also several mystery locations in the film. Watch for the posts. . |

Here is the first mystery location from the same film The old Horseshoe Tavern. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/QG2aq9.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/vGMnCK.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/KSBU5K.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/wpMi3t.jpg Anyone? :superwhip Link . |

The 1937 CD lists the Old Horseshoe Tavern at 6110 Wilshire Boulevard. That's just west of Fairfax. The intersection has many well-photographed buildings, so I'll see if I can turn up any pictures. ETA: LAPL has three detail views of the building by Anne Laskey taken in 1978. They're titled "Former tavern, Wilshire Boulevard". The description says: Exterior of a Tudor revival style building, once the home of the Old Horseshoe Tavern and Thoroughbred Club, which moved to 840 S.Fairfax Avenue in 1949 and was renamed "Tom Bergin's Horseshoe Tavern. Located at 6110 Wilshire Boulevard, this structure is no longer standing.https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...Horseshoe1.jpg |

I used to buy cubed ice for our electric ice cream machine. Add rock salt to the ice and it got real cold. Run the machine for a few minutes and you have homemade ice cream. http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/BedB...8089211p?$478$ bing image |

Barrier Walter Lantz (April 27, 1899 – March 22, 1994)....Hollywood cartoon studio.....who supplied material to Universal Studios. Link: some of his iconic music for his cartoons of 1940s.>>>>> [the cartoon is a bit iffy by 2020 standards but the music is top notch.] 7 minutes https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xx4wr2 https://bcdbimages.s3.amazonaws.com/...lantz_logo.jpg universal |

Lantz, of course best known for Woody Woodpecker. Trying to figure out that women's behind on the left. Is she bowlegged? Not unshapely, but different. Maybe she was the inspiration for the cartoon ladies above right. ------ Ethereal, any more old stories of the "Spanish" Flu in L.A. a 100 years ago? Appreciated the one you had a few weeks ago. Knowing how they got through that could help us now. Press is reporting on a big outbreak at the Farmer John meatpacking plant in Vernon. |

We've had many NLA postings on the Mary Andrews Clark Home; but I didn't spot one showing its Dining Hall:

For the longest time I was trying to figure out what the sign said on the Walter Lantz building...studios, pictures...? Finally realized it's Walter Lantz Cartunes! The photo is c. 1946 and is on Lankershim Blvd. along the perimeter of Universal Studios. According to a commenter on CartoonResearch.com: This photo is the only known one to exist of this location and is attributed to Dick Lundy, the director of "Wild and Woody". And it’s useful to look at to understand my description of how the building was actually connected to the outer studio wall of Universal, with a front door that opened right on to the sidewalk of Lankershim. "Wild and Woody" is a W. Woodpecker entry where Woody plays a western Sheriff whose nemesis is named Buzz Buzzard. Woody and Buzz? Hmmm... |

Maybe Huntington Drive was renumbered, because my guess is 1611 Huntington Drive, which is just east of the old Oneonta Park station. The property websites give a build date of 1908, which is only a year after GW's Herald picture. The image below is from 2009 as trees now hide half the house. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...tingtonDr1.jpg GSV |
