Here's a great photograph looking in the opposite direction. (on Main St.) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Cm9jjZ.jpg stunewsport If I'm not mistaken, the person who took the Ebay snapshot was standing on the roof of the large white biulding. (where I placed the RED DOT) I see that the small cafe, that I mentioned earlier, was called the Casino Cafe. _ |

[QUOTE=CityBoyDoug;8481794]Snow is predicted for parts of LA today. We'll see.
Last time it snowed in LA was 1962. I went outside tonight and believe me its cold here in LA. This February 2019 is the coldest ever on record.... Quote:

Opening of the 170 Freeway stretch of the Hollywood Freeway, North Hollywood, 1962
Sometimes I find photos in the oddest of places – I came across this one on display in my doctor’s office. It caught my eye because I thought, “Since when did a section of the Hollywood Freeway open in 1962?” On further investigation, I learned that we’re looking at the opening of the part of the 101 Freeway known as the 170 that goes from the 101 to Magnolia Blvd in North Hollywood. In this photo we’re looking south past those vintage Fords they hauled out for the occasion. (A 1906-08 Model N is on the far left. The other two are Model T's that could have been built anytime between 1909 and about 1916.)

Appears that they've eliminated the tile roofs. Current events: Coldest in LA this month since the 1880s when they began keeping weather records. This week at night I could see my breath which in LA is rare. A few hail and snow flurries today in areas above 700'. |
Here is a spectacular photograph of Long Beach in 1905.
There is such a large crowd it's difficult to tell if there is a pier beneath them. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/8qNDLL.jpg currently on EBAY Especially interesting is the smallish octagonal building in the middle distance. If you look closely there is a large banner draped across the street. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/3neift.jpg detail I should have cropped this a bit more carefully. On the right, just out of sight, is a large United States flag. (refer back to the top pic) |
I couldn't resist.
Here's a closer look at the octagonal mystery building. (and the impressive bank building behind it) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/JV1KFc.jpg hmmm... the lantern-shaped 'box' on top makes me think this might be a camera obscura. __ |

I thought perhaps the extra bulb in the center was to illuminate the counter area. To be honest, I'm just guessing that the shape on the left is a lighting fixture. Here's the cropped pic. once more. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/8JRp5D.jpg the original market photo can be found....never mind Bristolia just posted it again. Perfect timing! Thanks for your help CaliNative. I appreciate it. :) |

View of Long Beach from the pier, Los Angeles, ca.1910 http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...APineAvLB1.jpg USC Digital Library There's another 1905 view here, and USC also has pictures looking down the different piers in 1890 and 1906. Here's a very similar view which has been colorized as a postcard. It's dated 1908, and names the location as Pine Avenue (The Norwood was at 38 Pine). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...APineAvLB2.jpg eBay |
mystery location.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/YqzvjA.jpg EBAY Does anyone know where, in Los Feliz, the Los Feliz School was located? Judging by the shadows below their feet...the photograph was taken around noon. _ Wanna' see these rug rats up close? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/wer659.jpg The sun got in Amy's eyes. Poor thing. One of the boys is missing his shoes. __ |

https://i.postimg.cc/RZz8d5SD/20190222-Los-Feliz.jpgGoogle Street View Schools don't change location all that often, so I'm pretty sure that's the location of the picture. (ER, your photos are not displaying.) |

The the same was true at my grade school in the 1950s. In my school there was a special fund which bought shoes for kids and also paid for their lunch.....$.25 cents. My father paid for haircuts for neighbor boys. |
:previous:
I remember a couple kids like that in my grade school. One boy in my class used to get teased because his clothes were raggedy and I never understood why people would be mean to this boy because of that. They'd also tease him because his hair was often long (haircuts cost money) and boys hair was not long at that time. I recall one year when the class celebrated Valentine's Day, it was made clear we were supposed to exchange Valentines with all the classmates, but most of the kids still would not give this boy anything. I recall giving him a valentine that year and he looked up at me and got tears in his eyes. It affects me still when it comes to mind. It makes me wonder about that boy in E_R's picture. Notice all the other boys in that row have their arms around each other, but not him. |
