Here's a bit of a mystery.
Has anyone heard of a Valley Market Town? :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/RxQhgU.jpg eBay 6127 Sepulveda Blvd. Van Nuys, Calf. It somewhat reminds me of the Farmer's Market. . |
It would be interesting to figure out where these women have set up their booth.

Time for one more mystery before I take my car to the repair shop....:gaah:
Sadly, there's no address. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/8TVKeL.jpg eBay I wonder what is meant by "The House of Davis". I immediately thought of the House of David. (the midwest cult that had a baseball team) Here's the back but it doesn't offer any clues. (that I can see) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/RrPNP6.jpg Good luck minions! . |

"Valley Market Town Shopping Center at 6127 Sepulveda Boulevard near Oxnard was a popular spot for post war families after it opened in 1947. The center offered free babysitting and dog kennels and featured the Sepulveda Drive In Theater. By 1954 the complex had been renamed Mr. Carter's Market Place, after businessman Victor M. Carter." https://i.imgur.com/9BHID7y.jpg Facebook - Valley Relics Museum https://i.imgur.com/DuKf7MR.jpg sanfernandovalleyblog.blogspot.com |
Thanks, Noir_Noir!
The LA Times got into the act too with the Cobra Woman, adding a few details: https://i.postimg.cc/QtQdkWnB/Marks4-15-46.jpg LA Times 4/15/1946, via ProQuest, via CSULB Library. Here is their nice cozy home at 2510 E. 15th in Long Beach: https://i.postimg.cc/J44zZ03n/Marks-2510-E15th.jpg gsv |
Did anyone else notice the matching bas-reliefs on the two (stubby) towers of the recently-mentioned Taul Bldg. (same on both towers; a bit blurry because much enlarged)?
https://i.postimg.cc/g0vWfbyQ/Taul.jpg gsv Can anyone tell me what their significance might be? |

But if Elsie had been married to her snake, that would probably make the papers today I guess. Maybe not page 1, but page 10, small story: "Woman fatally bitten by husband in marital spat" |

The building, built in 1928, is in much better shape than I initially thought. ...If anyone would like to check it out go to 3517 Marathon St....or.. openlistings.com And I think I figured out "The House of Davis" mystery. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/0QDd6o.jpg Could it be this guy? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/XKJiJ4.jpg LATIMES 1931 As you can see, he lived at 3517 Marathon Street. . |

This afternoon's mystery post is a rare original snapshot of a Van de Kamp's bakery that was located on Pasadena Ave.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/wsbPqb.jpg Currently on eBay and the reverse... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/RdO7tT.jpg eBay I have two questions: 1....What is the office mentioned at the bottom. At first I thought they meant Van de Kamp's offices but I believe the windmill bakery at that location was on the same side of the street. Also it appears to say..umm...Santa Fe office? 2....The building next to the bakery, on the right, appears to be a real estate office (somewhat of a guess). And it looks like an Egyptian themed storefront has been built in front of a two story house. Does anyone have information on a "Lee" real estate office in the area? Let's take a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/v8pOPi.jpg I thought the building on the left might be a snow themed building (we've seen them before), but I'm pretty sure it's just the side of a normal building. (darn) . |
Kodachrome slide of a mystery building, taken in April of 1947.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/kB8Ih5.jpg Currently on eBay It could be a hospital with labs (note all the conduit)..but I'm at a loss for a name. hmm...or maybe that isn't conduit. . |
