http://larry.wizegallery.com/VWV/Smart.jpg (GSV, hosted by me) Notice the red circle, which matches the building to the left. And I believe the Thriftymart sign is now the Smart & Final sign. The photo is taken from the backside of the property (W Ohio Ave, not Santa Monica Blvd). |

Lwise, you got it, even without this verification-- "Coleman Cleaners" was elusive in CDs, but it was there... https://i.postimg.cc/Mp5t8BJt/colemansfacade-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sDypD2cL/colemanbp-bmp.jpg |

Hey Shocked, that is pretty amazing. Probably rare, too! A picture book makes sense for this movie. (Was Raggedy Man in that box?) People on the Home Theater Forum are talking about "Can't Stop the Music" because a Blu-Ray release of this is coming out on June 11th! I linked your posts here in case they're interested! The HTF Link is HERE. |

Any chance this elusive water tower could be a contender? Quote:
Going by the Thriftimart picture the general direction of the tower would be a line up through Westgate and Brentwood Park. Could a tower in those vicinities be considered to "overlook Santa Monica" as the Theresa Cundall water tower was in the newspaper reports? :shrug: |
:previous:
I'm glad you brought it up again, Noir Noir. We were never able to figure out the location of that watertower. |
Thanks for solving the mystery of the Thriftimart slide Bristolian, Lwise and GaylordWilshire.
Here's a Thriftimart being visited by a train engine. Thriftimart, 6350 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside CA [1960s] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/PukDIC.jpg flickr Arlington Plaza near the intersection of Van Buren Blvd. and Arlington Avenue. This same view, today HERE . |

I'm thinking there's a fair chance the water tower in the Thriftimart picture is the one that Theresa Cundall climbed onto in 1953. According to the reports she was living with her mother Mrs Albert Schuck at the time of the incident. Her mother was living at 875 Wellesley Avenue. Quote:

Here's a map with the general direction along where the tower from the Thriftimart picture might be located. 875 Wellesley Avenue is in the green circle. If Theresa ran out in the night in her bare feet, I'm thinking the water tower can't have been too far away. https://i.imgur.com/4UrqvFi.jpg Google Maps |

Thanks BillinGlendaleCA. So to be more exact it should have been this. https://i.imgur.com/Tm6907H.jpg I went looking for something more on the Mount Olivet Reservoir tower and where do I find it? Here of course! tovangar2 had posted this in 2017. :) Quote:

Carpenter’s Sandwiches 1933
1933 Carpenter’s Sandwiches drive-in was located at 6285 Sunset Boulevard between Vine Street and Argyle in Hollywood. For 30 cents you could enjoy a hamburger and wash it down with a cup of beer while sitting behind the wheel of your car (5 cents more for the premium beer). If this was already posted, Sorry....Paul

Sad and depressing that the Bougainvillea plants or whatever are now missing from the scene. You can still see by the dirt on the wall where they used to be. Plus, someone painted over those lovely gray rock blocks of the wall...... Can't we just leave things as they are. White paint is not an improvement. :(:(:( |

Thanks Bill Yes, Glendora is the local land of Bougainvillea. This thorny ornamental plant is native to South America. Its an import to CA. |
