Did anyone see this go down today? Apparently one of KHJ's old towers down by Fairfax and Venice took the big sleep this afternoon:

Logan Street School Quick update on our quest for an image of the elusive wooden building at Logan Street School. Talked to the school several times yesterday and this morning. Was passed around, as no one was sure what to do with me. This morning the principal, Mr. Ochoa, put me on the phone with Mr. Gonzales his right hand man. Serendipity ensued. No one could recall, off the top of their collective head, a picture of the building BUT Mr. Gonzales, in preparation for this year's 125th anniversary (yeah 125, I had no idea) has been given the task of going through several thick albums of pictures of the school AND to coordinate offers from 'many' alumni to loan or donate pictures from family scrapbooks that go back 'generations'. He has high hopes we'll get our picture. We have traded email addresses and he's going to hopefully give me a periodic update over the next several weeks as to our progress. Also offered up access to other interesting historic shots of the school. I, of course, said yes. EDIT: the 125th anniversary must be for LAUSD, not Logan Street. |

A truly despicable crime from 1967.
