Does anyone recall this 1964 proposal to turn the 'post dam-break' Baldwin Hills Reservoir into a sports stadium for the Angels? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/R3iHGJ.jpg halosheaven "Caption dated April 22, 1964 reads: LA Mayor Sam Yorty is reportedly going to meet with Angel president Robert Reynolds 4/22 to discuss the possibility of building a stadium on the site of the now empty Baldwin Hills reservoir. This artist's diagram shows a ballpark drawing in the reservoir, the breech in the right field stands in the opening where floodwaters poured over the community last December." Perhaps we have already seen this stadium proposal on NLA. If so, act like you've never seen it before. ;) ... |
Does anyone recall the ooooold McDonald's burgers? Similar taste as to now? I'm having a hard time remembering.

Back in the day, you could get a high quality meal at Hamburger Hamlet where prime cuts were ground into ''hamburger". It appears that those days are long gone. Generally food in the USA is some of the worst in the world. Kids today don't know what it was like 60 years ago. https://metvcdn.metv.com/0UK6C-14942...rgerhamlet.jpg metv |

I can confirm this. Significantly more onion then than now. I seem to recall the buns were warmed on a grill then, too, such that they acquired a somewhat oily sheen on the outer surface. Overall, original McDonald's hamburgers were moister, and had a more savory scent and flavor than today's. |

All hamburgers served with...a "gaggle" of pickles? For a gaggle of noirishers, perhaps? |

I was a bit surprised to find a helicopter rescue. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/H06nae.jpg damfailures.org Do you think the situation warranted a helicopter rescue? |

The hamburger place I remember mostly was Hampton's on Highland.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/uuuTXw.jpgT2 You can read about Hampton's history HERE A little more about the house. "For a short time before it became Hamptons, the little orange house on Highland Avenue was an unsuccessful recording studio. I can’t recall the name at the moment, but the corporate name for the recording studio was the same as the corporate name for Hamptons. Ron couldn’t bear to sell the house when the recording studio went belly up, so he decided to convert it into a burger restaurant." -Robin Jones I don't think we were able to find a photograph of the recording studio..or the house in it's original form. from one of my earlier posts HERE ... |

You missed the "f" of "forum" out of your link to T2's post. You can see the post here. PS. I tried messaging you, e_r, but your inbox is full! |

A group of friends enjoying a holiday weekend gathering in Laurel Canyon, October 1914.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/atTZrH.jpg ebay I believe the pics were sold. I haven't been able to find an active link. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/VzwQF3.jpg ebay Shenanigans! ...They look like a fun group of friends. I am especially intrigued by this last snapshot. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/GgHEbI.jpg ebay Was there a water tower on, or near, Lookout Mountain or Lookout Mountain Inn? :shrug: ... If there wasn't. . .then I'm stumped. (and this 'officially' becomes a mystery location ;)) Lorendoc might know. I believe he lives in this area. Here is the seller's complete information. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/zxqaob.jpg I might have saved the Halloween 'costume' photo somewhere in my files. I'll have to look for it. It's a shame the seller decided to sell the photographs separately. . |
Earlier today I came across this handcut, amateur stereoview.

(Back in those days, nobody minded if my mom brought me in to work with her. I was a quiet, well-behaved kid - I'd sit in my mom's office and draw all day, and didn't bother anyone.) Hampton's was supposed to be the fancy burger place - not to be mentioned in the same sentence as lowly burger joints like McDonald's. A lot of the studio types went there. This would have to be sometime in the 70's. I remember the hamburgers being very good, a meal in itself. I remember the hamburgers being REALLY BIG. Is that correct, ER? (I also went to the Hamptons in Toluca Lake a couple of times, too) |
