I drove by this place yesterday on Valley Blvd. near Garfield in Alhambra.
It looks like it was an old fast-food hamburger joint. Does anyone know the history of it? Currently it is a seafood place called the Boat House. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps123b5ff5.jpg Google Street View Nice original looking Hat next door too. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psad010754.jpg Google Street View |

Also in reference to a previous post (I can't seem to find it now), there was a Paul's Cafe on San Julian and I believe 10th near Louie Produce in the City Market Complex. I was quite young at the time, but I think it mostly catered to the workers of the City Market so I am not surprised that "chau-shu" pork was served since many were Chinese. |

Thanks bigHen, for the info on Paul's Cafe. Yes, it was mainly produce workers eating there. It was always crowded and we usually ate with the cooks in the kitchen, one I remember was "Slim" who usually made me the best sandwich of them all. After getting a crate of tomatoes, sack of onions and a rack of Gordon's bread and a sandwich it was off to Carnation for a big container of Ice Cream then to Van de Kamps for a container of cookies. All this went into the large freezer in the garage for later use except the produce that is. My father liked to shop in bulk you might say. He also had a friend with a Pheasant Farm and we ate a lot of that, so much even the dog ate some. i wish I could eat like that now. |
It was Paul's Kitchen, and located on San Pedro.
You're welcome. ;) |

Here's a photograph by a young amateur photographer.
Los Angeles, 1920s http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/842/6tz3.jpg ITYL Although it predate classic 'noir' by twenty years, I find it similarly mystifying. I realize the clues are sparse, but I'd love to figure out where this was taken. ...and here's a second photograph by the same photographer (also from the 1920s). -could this provide some additional clues? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/838/4ynb.jpg ITYL I picture this photographer hanging out along the railroad tracks just east of downtown. (and west of the Los Angeles River) __ |
Andrew Brown Building
Quote:
Sorry, E_R, I don't know how to post a Google Maps picture on the thread. I checked your photo on Google Maps and I recognized the beautiful Andrew Brown Building which is still there (first on the right on the noirish photo) by its emergency stairs and the windows at the second floor. I recognized the next building too. The rest (particularly on the left) has changed. We are at Wall Street and 5th looking to 5th Street to the East. |
