Thanks for the follow-ups on Baer's Market, 17th & Montana Ave. and Weller Court on 2nd and Onizuka.....I appreciate it. :)
Here's another mystery slide, folks. Original 35mm Slide, HILL TOP MOTEL & TRAILER PARK, Santa Monica California [c.1963] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/m7a7eB.jpg eBay I believe we might have discussed this place, but I don't believe we have seen this 1963 view of the interesting sign. Does anyone remember where the Hill Top Motel and Trailer Park was located? :shrug: . |

The sign was still in place as recently as 2017. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/5Tlggn.jpg Now it is GONE <---click link. ARRGH! :tantrum: Does this make me look like a brat? . |
re: "c.1914 Family Photo of Ford Touring Car on Vermont and Hollywood, L.A., Calif."
Apparently that large white house we can see in the far background was the home of William Mead, the original developer of Los Feliz, located at 4533 Cockerham Drive. Though almost unrecognizably remodeled, the bones of the house remain standing at the foothill head of Vermont above Los Feliz.
[QUOTE=ethereal_reality;8645836]Here is a fantastic family photograph that was posted on eBay, yesterday. "c.1914 Family Photo of Ford Touring Car on Vermont and Hollywood, L.A., Calif." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/EUE68b.jpg eBay The seller added this: "This photo taken by my Grandmother about 1914 of my father (age 3 or 4) next the the family Ford Touring Car parked on Vermont Ave at Hollywood Blvd in front of his dad's store, viewing north on Vermont toward Griffith Park and the Hollywood Hills, Southern California. This and other photos were reprinted by my father in the early 1950s for local newspaper articles on the history of East Hollywood. This image is from one of a few sets of these original gelatin silver images he printed from the original negatives. The photos were taken by my grandparents between 1902 and 1918." note the large mansion in the hills at the end of the street. (Vermont) |

Frank's at the beach. (mystery location)
I found this fantastic 1952 slide last night on eBay "Orig 1952 Muscle Beach, Santa Monica CA 35mm Kodachrome Photo Slide." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/rRb5a0.jpg[/URL] eBay The seller has this labeled as Muscle Beach....but, unless I am mistaken, this is..dare I say.. north of Santa Monica Pier, right? :shrug: Here's a closer look at Frank's Good Food. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/ZFDYoB.jpg note the parking attendant and parking sign. (off-duty policeman?) . |

Wonder if there'll flying cars by then, like The Jetsons! I strongly doubt Ford will still be selling Mustangs in 2000 (or even 1980)... |
The Frank's slide is no doubt labeled 'Muscle Beach' because the seller also has this slide from 1952.
Now THIS is MUSCLE BEACH! Orig 1952 Muscle Beach, Santa Monica CA 35mm Kodachrome Photo Slide https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/4gI9fy.jpg eBay I believe I recognize the guy in the blue speedo-like trunks. I've seen him in an old video clip of a celebrity's beach party in Malibu. He's an actor. Lastly, the eBay seller has this slide, also from 1952..... "Orig 1952 Muscle Beach, Santa Monica CA 35mm Kodachrome Photo Slide" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/PKhtxy.jpg eBay This, most definitely, is not Muscle Beach. I don't even think this is California. . |

Free handshake and Live Drumming on Sundays. Yep. Since it wasn't in the CDs nor on the map, it was fairly obvious. The background sure doesn't scream SF Valley either (although the Carolina Pines on La Brea doesn't seem a natural fit either.) https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCo...hollywood_usa/ Somewhat reminiscent of a bogus "Walt's" Hollywood Blvd. Restaurant once discussed on NLA. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=23018 http://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...ywood-blvd.jpghttp://www.martinturnbull.com/wp-con...ywood-blvd.jpg |

You guys are on a "roll." At the risk of straying even more off topic, I like this one: https://66.media.tumblr.com/02f938a9...sy7o1_1280.jpg ...a midnight snack anyone? |
We couldn't find Mickey Rooney's fake restaurant because it burned down! Probably just as well after a 22-year-old waiter suffocated in the rubber Mickey Rooney mask he was required to wear ;).

:previous: One can only hope that much of Mickey's "potato starch magic" can be recaptured and the structure is rebuilt and restored to its former glory.

. A Tea Garden in East Lake Park? :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/u87gPB.jpg eBay We have visited East Lake Park (now LINCOLN PARK) many times on NLA...but I don't recall any mention of a 'quaint' tea garden . A very brief history for newcomers. "In 1881, the City of Los Angeles created a local attraction called East Los Angeles Park. In 1901, it became Eastlake Park before the name changed a third time to Lincoln Park in 1917. The park’s address is 3501 Valley Blvd., Los Angeles, CA." . |
