Here's the Trancas Restaurant at 30763 Pacific Coast Highway. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...LATrancas1.jpg www.pinterest.com From the Pepperdine Libraries Digital Collections: "The Trancas Restaurant was built in 1949 after the Malibu Trading Post, on the same location, burned down. Today, there is a Starbucks Coffee shop at this location, which is in western Malibu at Trancas Canyon Road on the Pacific Coast Highway. This postcard [see link] showing the interior patio dining area is likely from the 1960s."The view below roughly lines up with Godzilla's photo. The Starbucks near the center must be the one mentioned above. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...LATrancas2.jpg Google Maps |

I happened upon this photograph on pinterest
There's a good possibliity we have seen it. (on NLA) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/JZGlHZ.jpg pinterest / originally from LAPL (but I couldn't find it on LAPL) "Man waiting at hotel entrance. Double-sided sign above door reads "N. Spring Hotel" on one side, and "Spring Hotel" on the other, the "N" having worn away. This is the hotel entrance on N. Spring Street side to the second floor of the Sentous Building." My question is: If a hotel is entirely on the second floor then where is the office? ...Do they have someone sitting on a folding chair in the hallway taking money? Also...Who's the dude in the photo? . |
.
Now here's a an interesting RPPC that I saw on eBay. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/oBTWYs.jpg eBay and the details https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/UyeVuK.jpg So when was Roosevelt in Hollywood? Here's a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/8gj1sX.jpg What I thought was bunting, purses and coats is actually a woman lying on the bench. . |
.
....Here's one more post for this stay-at-home Saturday night. .....................................................A mystery. ......................Did Grauman's Theater hire Giants as ushers? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/Z7aWGS.jpg eBay THE REVERSE https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/th3ZCK.jpg It looks like the date is Sept. 18, 1945. Three noirish CHEERS for doctors, nurses and first responders! Thanks for keeping us safe. . |
Three noirish CHEERS for all the Noirishers. I will begin the list:

Mainly what I remember about Pasadena in 1975 was when I would take deep breaths in the smog poisoned air, my poor New England lungs would ache. And I only mentioned my TV show to show I know wtf I'm talking about when it comes to CBD. I've interviewed farmers, manufacturers, even testing facilities. I guess someone who just talks out of his ass wouldn't understand framing a comment with bona fides... |

KevinW-- There's one under every bridge. Random image from the 1909 CD: https://i.postimg.cc/SscvWLLP/nlaawning-bmp.jpg |
FYI, "Penny Dreadful: City of Angels" premiers tonight on Showtime. Its set in 1930's L.A. and stars Nathan Lane among others. May be worth a watch...

Congratulations: Gaylord and Kevin, today you both managed to utter your usual potty mouth snarky comments.
At least er has kind words for me and other Forum members. Occasionally I make mistakes in my comments...wow big deal. Here on NLA there's a huge squad of Internet Cops who read my every word with great interest. Its very flattering and thank you all. :angel: :angel: :angel: |

I think we've commented here before on the origins of the "Oscar" nickname for the Academy Award, but I don't think I ever heard this particular story before. It seems that before his demise Wallace Reid took shoe-shiner Oscar Smith under his wing and got him a stand at Famous Players/Paramount...where Smith was noticed and put in pictures, including Harold Lloyd's The Freshman (1925), Man Power (1927), The Canary Murder Case (1929), and Double Indemnity (1944).
Smith lived at 1200 East Adams from 1923 until his death in 1956; his family appears to still own it nearly a century later. More of his story is here. More on Oscar-name theories here. https://i.postimg.cc/sgmVCsh9/EAD120...FB-bmp-003.jpg 1200 East Adams Boulevard Smith with Richard Dix on the set of Man Power https://i.postimg.cc/P54FScn7/ead120...Oscarw-Dix.jpg And in Double Indemnity https://i.postimg.cc/PrkjcB0f/ead1200oscarin-DI-bmp.jpg |
