https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...%20Melrose.jpg ProQuest via LA Public Library There were three photos in all, with this caption: FIRE FIGHT AT O.B. SALOON "Flames shoot up from cocktail lounge at 4365 Melrose Ave. as firemen unreel hose and try to break down door. Fire, put out in 11 minutes, caused $34,000 damage." The most recent GSV shows a parking lot at that location. Here is another of the Times' photos; what is written at lower left? https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...%20Melrose.jpg |
2861 W. 7th
Hello, has anyone seen this building before at 2861 W. 7th Street? It's a Morgan, Walls & Clements structure from 1924. Named the Olive J. Cobb Building.
http://colocation.com/images/a.jpeg I found the building plans at The Huntington Library http://colocation.com/images/b.jpeg |

I knew there was something familiar about this building, and then I remembered the plaque over the arch at right: https://i.postimg.cc/FFYXSn7H/cobbbldgplaque-bmp.jpg This is from my inventory of Windsor Square--specifically from the details of 549 Lorraine Boulevard. See https://windsorsquarelosangeles.blog...square_13.html Getson was a dress manufacturer specializing in beading and embroidery; he moved in after the departure of custom furniture maker Marshall Laird. (W 7th St in this area was known for its many high-end design shops.)

I notice from the street elevation drawing that several of the windows have been bricked up. ER has told me several times that we're not supposed to talk about modern security measures on NLA. OK, so that's all I will say. |

Back in 2012 I posted an image of Cogswell's Sierra Madre Villa.... Here I recently happened upon this second view. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/qUQrW6.jpg eBay (no longer listed) Here's a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/giJEF4.jpg detail I obviously see the children but I just noticed the two gentleman sitting in chairs on the left. Do you recognized any of Cogswell's plants, odinthor? . |
1918 "Spanish" Flu epidemic in L.A.
ethereal recently posted an article from the L.A. Times from 1918 about the "Spanish" flu, a very noirish period. There must be a lot of articles of interest from that period. Can ethereal and others post more of them? Maybe we can learn something about how L.A. handled that episode and came through. Thanks in advance!

When I was a itty bitty kid we used to be scared every summer about getting polio and being stuck in an iron lung for life. Then Salk and Sabin came along and the polio was licked.

Liz was still quite hot in '67--hard to believe this is the same woman who made "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf" a year earlier. Brando pulled himself together and made "The Godfather" a few years after this pic, reviving his career. Some would say it went downhill again with "Last Tango in Paris", but others say that was a good film too. "A Streetcar Named Desire" & "The Godfather" were the early and late peaks though. |

What was that all about ER? Why did you throw a ''fire bomb'' at me, eight days ago on Mar 19? I had no idea how tall you are until your strange comment on Mar 19. What was I supposedly angry about? |

If any newcomers are interested in the fascinating story of the 'Arcade Palm' (it's still alive!) go HERE ...(an excellent post by Flyingwedge) P.S. Bill, your answer, Exposition Park, also tells us where this rppc was taken.

Hello friends! I hope everyone is keeping safe during these times. Anyone want to take a gander at trying to find the intersection of this photograph?
