http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ilStation1.jpg GSV The USC photoset also includes the image below. At first I thought it was another view of the service station above, but then I noticed a sign saying "W. EIGHT...". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ilStation2.jpg USC Digital Library Unfortunately, the other street name was unreadable. Standard Oil had a service station at 2100 W 8th Street, and the slope on S Alvarado initially seemed about right. There's even an extant apartment building at the top of the street with similar windows, but I eventually concluded that it wasn't a match. That only left 3029 W 8th Street, which luckily turned out to be the one in the image above. The picture shows the corner of S New Hampshire Avenue. The building just visible on the left is the former Hotel Mayan. I wrote about it in post #22901 - the first picture even shows a small piece of the service station. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ilStation3.jpg GSV |

We recently revisited the famous Iowa Picnics on NLA. The other night I found this photograph of a Canadian Picnic at Long Beach in 1925.

Several minutes ago I came across this astonishing photograph of Signal Hill (near Long Beach) taken in 1924.
It's the year before the Canadian Picnic in the previous post. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/746/MxHXR0.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/1924-Signal-...16.m2518.l4276 The seller is asking $49.99 __ |

The Standard (Service) Station and the vine-covered house are long gone but the building sporting the National Lampoon advert (The La Fonda) has persevered. |
I don't think we've seen these views of Union Station and the Civic Center before. They're both from 4x5 negatives, and the description of one says "Original vintage negative from the late 1950's. Taken by Don Comoe who was the official photographer at Naval Air Station at Los Alamitos, CA." The seller had posted the images back to front, hence the mirrored watermark when I corrected them. I've also played with the levels to try and even them out.
