:previous: Wow! Terrific find Martin_Pal.
A few days ago we were in Granada Hills discussing the Granada Building. Also in Granada Hills.... James Cagney's ranch 1930s. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/frKz0B.jpg ebay This looks like a truly amazing place....just look at the size of the barn and out buildings. __ |

Thanks for all the great replies to my post. I had a pretty decent collection of Hollywood Sign photos already, but you folks posted several I'd never seen before and it's great to have them. Pretty wild to see a swimming pool on top of Mt. Lee, what a surprise! |

The men with sacks on their shoulders are casting grass seed. Hopefully the grass will grow before the rainy season. As we all know, if there is a lot of rain, those mountain roads could be washed out. The grass will help keep the sides of the road from turning into mud. This would not be good PR for Hollywoodland. |

I think you are referring to an optical illusion of a retaining wall being partially obscured by terrain and then wrapping around a hill to support the road. Not a Triangle at all. |

No Irish
The juxtaposition of two words got a NY bar in trouble. Yup, I know that it isn't LA, but I thought it was humorously pertinent.

I saw the old Bronson Canyon Bat Cave in a couple of Shazam/Isis episodes.

Since we're revisiting the top of Mt. Lee.

Earlier tonight I received a message from a very important member that said they were quitting the thread. :(
(in fact, it's the second message I received like that this week. It makes me sad. __ This caught my eye because it mentions the Hass Building.

It's almost a given she walked past this jingoistic display. I wonder what she made of it? __ |

Taft Farmhouse
Last week I attended a presentation at the San Fernando Valley Historical Society and one of the photos presented was this one, which I thought worth sharing here.
This pre-1900 farmhouse originally stood on the southeast corner of Hollywood and Vine. When the Taft building was built in 1923, this house was moved to the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Canyon Drive, an intersection that no longer exists - it's now a 101 off-ramp. A subsequent second move took it to its current location, at 16745 San Fernando Mission Blvd in Granada Hills. http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...-farmhouse.png |
