We have seen the Munster's car on Hollywood Boulevard but I don't believe we have seen this particular slide. I thought it might be parked in front of The Haunted House but this place appears to be strictly a restaurant. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/TBi1RF.jpg eBay .............The kid is going to the movies. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/8f3Bl0.jpg ......................He's picking his seat. .... . |

They're outside Aldo's at 6413 Hollywood Boulevard, seen here in 1966. Various sources I found say it's where Sonny met Cher. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds www.reddit.com |

According to an April 2020 article at beverlypress.com: As part of its consent calendar on March 31, the Beverly Hills City Council unanimously approved what is expected to be the final allocation of funds for plugging 19 oil wells on the Beverly Hills High School campus.My quick search didn't find any articles saying whether or not they did complete the plugging works this year. |

To the world of tomorrow we come. See the sun through the grey. It's the dawn of a new day. Here we come young and old; Come to watch all the wonders unfold And the tune that we play. It's the dawn of a new day Tell the world At the door That we don't want him 'round any more. Better times Here to stay As we live and laugh the American way. Listen one, listen all. There can be no resisting the call. Come hail the dawn of a new day! |

I got curious about the Matt Talbot Canteen--here's an item from the Times of Feb 12, 1955: https://i.postimg.cc/GmgwntqH/zicari1.png And here is a much longer story about skid row from the Times, June 15, 1953: https://www-proquest-com.i.ezproxy.n...ccountid=35635 Quote:

Happy New Year everyone! Hollywood New Year's party, 1952....(venue unknown) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/qpSMHW.jpg livejournal That's the Tarzan of that day, Lex Barker, with his wife, actress Arlene Dahl. But they were soon-to-be the ex-Mr. & Mrs. Barker. I couldn't help but notice Dahl's, and the other lady's, masks.:previous: They made me think of a movie I saw as a little kid, Queen of Outer Space (1958), that has haunted my imagination ever since. The film starred Zsa Zsa Gabor & featured Amazon-like women who carried spears and wore elaborate (sexy?) masks similar to the masks worn at the 1952 New Year's Eve party. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Oueen of Outer Space https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/X71G2X.jpg lissatownsend Then it occured to me that perhaps the masks were made by the same Hollywood designer. . . .which led me to Jorgett Strumme (I'll return to her later)...Irene Cane (nope, not her either). . .umm. . . This is going to need a lot more research. . |

One caveat, as the individual users upload the photos, sometimes the locations and info given has been wrong, I've noticed in a few. But it's still good for a spin around any areas you're interested in. |

mystery fountain or water main break? FYI:..We have seen Welch's previously on NLA. I recently happened upon this original slide on eBay & I can't figure out what the heck is going on in the foreground. :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/avYNrr.jpg eBay Is it some sort of fountain or a water main break?...Whatever it is it appears that some prankster emptied a box of LUX detergent into it! As a reminder: Here's a photograph that HossC posted back in the earlier days of the thread. Welch's was located at 4401 Atlantic Blvd. in Long Beach. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/TqmpFV.jpg skyscraperpage. Does anyone know what was across the street from the restaurant? (site of the mystery 'fountain' thingy) To see Welch's unique interior go Here. But first, help me out with this 'fountain' mystery. :superwhip . |

:previous: Thanks, odinthor. Sadly, there's a Starbucks that takes up the entire space of the former traffic island. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/SRiK9s.jpg GSV I took a ride down to the former site of Welch's and was surprised to see that the Starbucks incorporated a fountain into their design scheme. (I've never seen this before) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/ks9jOO.jpg GSV My guess is. . .the city sold the triangular parcel of land to a developer with the stipulated that a fountain be included in the project to make up for the loss of the old fountai. If true. .it's a sorry replacement, of what appears to have been, (judging from odinthor's aerial) a rather large circular civic fountain.... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/GBl0gf.jpg I think it's a reprehensible loss. . . f*ck starbucks! My kingdom :pimpdaddy: for a street level photograph of the LOST fountain. . |
