Re: Problems with HossC's pictures off of Photobucket.
If I have a Gmail tab open on my browser, I have problems. If I don't have a Gmail tab open, no problems. So far very repeatable. Anybody else see this? Running the latest Safari on the latest rev of OS X. Some bogousity involving Photobucket's attempt to see if you're logged into Google? Weird. Cheers, Earl |

Thanks, Earl, I do normally have a Gmail tab open, so I'll test your theory tomorrow. Having said that, I recently noticed that some of my images needed a couple of refreshes to display when I tried a clean install of Chrome on a different computer where NLA was the only tab open! BTW. That USC aerial above failed three times before I got a successful upload, so Photobucket are definitely trying to play down the scope of their current problems. |
I saw a plaque on a new building on grand avenue by the old crash mansion that mentioned that it used to be the site of a ballroom owned by Myrna Myron. It was evidently popular with the Hollywood crowd during its day. I googled and found an LAT article announcing her death but anyone know if there is any interesting history associated? Any photos?

If someone has a photo (aerial or otherwise) showing the residential area between Hollywood Blvd & Yucca and Gower & Bronson anytime prior to the mid 1960's, please post it or direct me to a source. Thanks kindly.

I received the latest "Gazette" from the Orange Empire Musem [at Perris, CA I may be in error about its official title] It contains the latest history of the remains of 1435. Over many decades the car had been stripped of parts useable to restore/maintain others. After sitting at the Subway Terminal it was given to OERM, suffering graffitte damage in the last few weeks of sitting in LA. Briefly, the car had been owned privately at OERM until insurance etc rules required ownership transfer to OERM or removal. The owner elected to remove it to San Francisco. Near Santa Barbara the roof was damaged by collison with the bottom of a highway overpass. It donated some parts to SF Muni, and somehow got back to So Ca. OERM has removed the last salvable parts for use on similar cars in service at Perris and stored the body in case it can serve somewhere as a shell. One bulkhead was removed sometime previously, such that the body is considered by OERM to be structurally at risk unless repaired |

Let's dig up some answers noirishers! :) __ *I decided to go back and look at the building again. Here it is from the side. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/Xf6T9F.jpg gsv I didn't realize it was taller in the back. As Easy implied, the building is now gone. __ Thanks for the older aerial of USC Hoss. I don't think we'll ever figure out the exact location of that newspaper photo. _ |
Here's an amazing aerial I came across after googling "USC 1920s Quad".

Previously I had asked:
"Does anyone know what the interior looks like today." Quote:
I knew about the Last Bookstore but I didn't realize it was in this building. So now I'm doubly impressed. As I was looking at Hoss's photographs again, I noticed something http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/1QINuS.jpg detail / Shulman :previous: The metal bands wrapped around the columns really bother me for some reason. As far as I can tell, they're there just to hang flags. Since they no doubt knew Mr. Shulman was coming, they could have at least hung up the flags, or better yet, take off the metal bands. Just thought I'd share. (I'm usually not so nick-picky ;)) __ Lap-band surgery comes to mind. |
I could be wrong, but I don't believe we have seen this truly remarkable photograph on NLA before.
"Pacific Electric streetcar on Hill Street on the south side of the Subway Terminal building." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/OBEbFr.jpg https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73746512623209543/ uncanny.net So what building is the Van de Kamps in? -also note the old stairway going up to the second level at far right. __ :previous:That reminds me, I need to buy some butter. |

This is the 1969 Wilshire Christian Manor at 616 S Normandie Avenue, photographed the year after its completion by Julius Shulman. It's "Job 4652: Robert E. Donald, Wilshire Christian Manor (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1970".
NB. Just for a change, I've omitted the color image from this set. It's a similar angle to the first black & white picture. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original This shot is looking south, with Wilshire Boulevard in the distance. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original The set includes these two interior photos. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Apart from the trees at the front, not much has changed. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original GSV PS. Thanks for yesterday's suggestion, Earl Boebert, but closing my Gmail window hasn't helped my uploads or previews. |
