Have you contacted the local City Council office? The staff there should be able to find out why the trees are being cut. |
I don't known anything about trees but maybe you can help me with a mystery of mind. I think this photo taken of my dad is on Ord and Broadway blvd camera facing west.
https://preview.ibb.co/gu1srk/Jose_P..._area_1925.jpg I think that the hill in the background may be where the Robinson Mansion is at. https://preview.ibb.co/inD0cQ/Jose_V...adway_1925.jpg Here is a view of the same street in the opposite direction. the shadow are west east on both photos but taken at different time of day. Notice that there is no hill in this direction. and shadows do line up https://preview.ibb.co/bTiYxQ/guy_ca..._area_1925.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/c25fcQ/two_gu..._area_1925.jpg other photos same views But there is a pole in front of the market but not in the other photo so I got the street wrong. |

Nowhere has anyone mentioned the historical nature of the trees. I've spoken with a couple of lawyers who suggest that an injunction is the only way to stop this. |

These photos are from 1925. Good luck with your tree effort. I will look for the trees. |
Additional info on Image and copy of page taken from book:
Beautiful Highlands of Los Angeles, published in 1900. I'm not sure of the publisher. The record shows "Los Angeles," which may indicate it is the City of Los Angeles, but it is not clear. That indicates that the trees must date from the late 1800s, making them at least 120 years old. The entire publication is found here: https://archive.org/details/beautifulhighlan00losa Here is the image once again, taken from the same publication, showing the imported conifer trees in an alternating pattern with palms: http://www.califaztlan.org/LANoirPics/workman1.jpg |

FWIW, all may not be completely lost. To salvage images that appear missing, there may be "embed fixes" at least for Firefox and Chrome browsers.":shrug: Guessing this is a band aid rather than a permanent fix, but every little bit helps. Quote:

Now that you identified that mystery photo location it is obvious to me; I should've gotten that one! We've covered that intersection and vicinity on NLA quite a few times, but the b&w photo you supplied of the cross streets is a new one to me. Where'd you find that one? It looks like the "Salem Refreshes Naturally" ads were done in the early 1970's, c.1972-1974. I was trying to read the bus number and route on the bus in the former mystery photo. While trying to find some info to help with that I discovered this photo that was taken a couple blocks south of there on La Cienega. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7496/2...3d1f4474_b.jpgMetro Library and Archive Caption: SCRTD bus at Norms Restaurant on La Cienega. Taken circa 1976. We also have a Ford Mustang and a red VW Beetle in the photo. Notice the billboard on the right says "Catch Perry Mason." |

What kind of trees (not the palm trees) are they? They don't look like any kind familiar to me. |

gsv I thought a pic including both the form of a whole tree and some more or less close-up branches/leaves would be helpful. At first, I was thinking they looked a bit Silk Oak-ish (Grevillea robusta); but no--if so, they'd be another strain than the usual kind. Looking at them in this pic they still don't look familiar to me!--which would be typical of trees planted way back then, when they delighted in trying out exotic things. It really would be a crime to cut down these beautiful and interesting trees! |
