CaliNative,
My sincere condolences at your loss. All I can say is, I empathize. |
My condolences, CaliNative - I lost my cat Petey Pete just about a month ago. If there's a heaven without cats and dogs, I don't wanna go there.

Thanks, Martin Pal! I stumbled across a great cache of old photos in the garage lately, but almost none of them are appropriate fare for Noirish LA - I wish my parents had taken some photos of buildings once in a while instead of ONLY taking pictures of people! |

Am I correct in assuming this letter is going to be framed and prominently displayed? I know that's what I would do. |
Losing A Loved One
I offer my condolences to you on losing your cat. Our pets are more than just a cat or dog they are family. At the beginning of the year I lost my favorite Wiemarimer, I was heart broken. My other Wien grieved and gradually passed away too. I still miss them greatly.

Who is it that's looked up people in old census statistics for many posts? Maybe he's in the 1960 census at this address and lists his occupation. |

It appears that our Miss Ryl is--and indeed still "is," as she's now living in Laguna Hills--a name to conjure with. She was a sales consultant for You Bet Your Life in 1961 (see her IMDB listing); and in the course of time did a well-remembered video, which is on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP7MzmjHmZc and her work has a continuing presence: https://i.postimg.cc/tJd7yZ8D/EdenRyl.jpg http://www.superb.org/support/main.htm |

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. I lost one of mine in March of this year. Your post brought tears to my eyes again

Very cool. My dad was a big Sinatra fan but I'm afraid his closest connection was a pretty cool photo he took of Frank at a concert at the forum in the '70s. |

Any decent camera with fine grain film and glass lens could have picked up the Hollywood sign, which is only eight miles away from the position on the shooter. |

Here is a truly fascinating look at downtown Long Beach in 1899! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/qajGBx.jpg It popped up on eBay last night. If you look closely there is an island visible off in the distance. (see enlargement at bottom of post) The reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/3cK8dO.jpg So what island is it? The islands I know of (Deadman's, Mormon, Rattlesnake) are all off of San Pedro. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/k8NhlS.jpg detail And it's too low on the horizon to be Catalina. I'm so sorry about Maya, CaliNative. I'm sure she's purring up in cat heaven. . |

It's difficult to really see the shape but being Long Beach, I thought it could be could be Signal Hill. Based on the shadows, the photo was taken pretty much looking into the sun. Signal Hill is northeast of downtown Long Beach so that doesn't really line up. |

The picture is looking south on Pine Ave at the corner of 1st Street. Sign for the Iowa Villa (Long Beach Sanborn Map 1898 below) at top right in picture. https://i.imgur.com/YDt0X6f.jpg loc.gov - Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Long Beach 1898 |

And thanks for pointing out the IOWA sign for Iowa Villa, Noir Noir. The place must have been hopping during the annual Iowa Picnics. "Long Beach became ubiquitous as an expatriate Iowan community. Des Moines Register columnist Chuck Offenberger noted in a 1994 column that it even had the nickname "Iowa by the Sea." According to Offenberger, the first picnic was held New Year's Day in 1887 and attended by 408 people. The Los Angeles Times reported that the celebration reached its peak attendance in 1925 with 125,000." |
