LA TIMES: The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident, in which one of the cable cars hurtled down a steep track and collided with its twin when its controlling cable slackened while unwinding from its spool. In addition to Leon Praport’s death and his wife’s injuries, six other passengers were injured. |

Does anyone remember a heavy downpour that occurred in 1962? A few weeks ago I happened upon four amateur slides showing the aftermath along a stretch of Franklin Avenue in Hollywood. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/Y0KHDG.jpg ebay As you can see, this first slide shows an open-front grocery store named Haig's Market. Next door there is a venue called the K Club offering cocktails Do either of these businesses ring a bell with anyone? :shrug: In this 2nd slide. . . the photographer continues down Franklin passing Haig's Market (at right). As you can see there are a plethora of clues down the street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/zilvG2.jpg ebay This 3rd slide is the only slide that wasn't described as Franklin Ave. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/ZjD1OS.jpg eBay The photographer was mostly interested in the mud on the street. Does anyone by chance recognize the cross street? It appears to be larger than Franklin Ave. The last slide, which I found a week later, is a close-up of a car mired in the mud. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/l3oA4P.jpg eBay No street is mentioned with this slide. . |

That's part of architect Welton becket's master design of the 1960s music ctr. I've always considered those torch type lights as a elegant design fitting to mid 1960s formalism. Just as the two iron fitted name plates on either side of the staircase on grand are....which is visible in billinglendale's photo. The ones that say 'dorothy chandler pavilion' and 'mark taper forum...' they originally were plated in a gold color & were painted over in red a few yrs ago....probably by a person in charge of the music ctr...who likely thought the lettering was, as you've described the light fixtures, too extravagant. |
I've always wanted to live in the '20s
The Roaring '20s...the sequel? Have a Swell New Year noirishers!

On a related note, I noticed recently that the west entrance of the 3rd street tunnel is being remodeled, uncovering the original portal. https://goo.gl/maps/bn23N9L1LvkU9Ksy7 Compare the 2018 and 2019 streetview images. |

I think the mystery building from Fast Company does appear in your 1928 aerial - it was moved a little way west sometime between 1923-24 and 1926. https://i.imgur.com/v0vLhV1.jpg 1923/24 detail from - silentlocations.com 1926 detail from - tessa.lapl.org I think this is it in the 1928 aerial. https://i.imgur.com/vpJ9lwQ.jpg A building in that spot shows up in aerials right up to 1953 but is gone by 1960 before the big Roach Studios demolition in 1963. https://i.imgur.com/EKAVf2I.jpg historicaerials.com I can't find a later more side on aerial view to see if it was the same building throughout the period ... or any details on what it's use might have been. :shrug: |

I would never have guessed that the shape on my aerial was the same building, but I can't argue with your LAPL image. Great work, Noir_Noir. |
I thought we might have seen this real estate office on NLA....(I tripled checked. We haven't)
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/xo27Ic.jpg eBay My kingdom :pimpdaddy: for anyone who can figure out where this little hut of a real estate office was located. The reverse isn't much help. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/5Fntxu.jpg for search purposes: January 10, 1911 Back in 2012 I posted this Miramonte Park advertisement but there's no mention of an on-site office.

I would still like to know where that hut was located. |
