Is there, perhaps, a function setting to go beyond that I don't know about? __________ Quote:
There's a "Hollywood Historic Marker" on Hollywood Blvd. in front of this location detailing some info (like Bing Crosby started out in Hollywood performing there) and also a photograph of it, but it's too high up to see any details. Last I knew it's currently a theater space. |

I noticed that the photo is being sold by the same Ebay vendor as the McDaniel's Midnight Market photo that you posted recently. Quote:

I think HossC is correct. Another thing...the two guys working in the store don't really look Chinese to me either. If I had to guess, I would say they were Filipinos. Maybe back in the 1930's everyone just got lumped in together. |
:previous: -great detective work HossC! I would have never guessed they were photographs of the same building.

So has the Pig N' Whistle, too, it appears. Since it is currently there, I did not know that at one time it had closed and opened as something else...at least once, as in the 1966 photo which shows it as the "Masters Mart." By the way, the American Cinematheque "restored" the exterior design, but not the interior which was decidedly "remodeled." |

Appreciate the info, HossC.

http://stellaadleralifeinart.wordpre...ivided-legacy/ Here's a photo of the entrance to where the Cafe Montmartre was located and it's now the Stella Adler Academy and Theatres. You can see the other two places I mentioned above and also a Hollywood Historic Marker for the iconic bank building on the corner of Hollywood & Highland that is right next doorâ¦the marker I talked about is just a few feet up the sidewalk, but you can see what Iâm referring to. There are many of these on the boulevard. |
I found these two interesting, but somewhat confusing construction postcards a while back.

Figueroa Street covered by Flyingwedge here http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=12197, and shown below. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/585/bws4.jpg USC/originally posted by Flyingwedge ..until I learned it was constructed in 1920. I googled a bit and found out there is a Brownstein Building at 722 S. Los Angeles Street built 1911 and a Louis Stores Building next door at 724 S. Los Angeles Street built 1912. (both were designed by Arthur Angel) Are these the buildings in the postcards, or did Brownstein-Louis Co. have a factory down in Vernon or some other locale? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/850/njb8.jpg http://www.you-are-here.com/downtown/brownstein.html __ The construction postcards also mention 'Home of Strongholds'. We first met Stronghold Steve about a year ago courtesy of Flyingwedge. :) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/841/o32j.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=13409 __ |
I still have a few months of posts to go before I’m caught up to where I first started last fall.
I came across this post of e_r’s from a year ago: Quote:
However, those gsv shots posted in January 2013 were at least a few months old then because on Memorial Day weekend of May, 2012, this place opened as the second Los Angeles location of the PINK TACO restaurant & bar. http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/def...97_6875_PT.jpgExaminer http://www.builtinc.com/wp-content/u...50180586_n.jpg Three photos of the interiors: http://www.builtinc.com/wp-content/u...06452646_n.jpgBuilt Inc. http://www.builtinc.com/wp-content/u...23897074_n.jpgBuilt Inc. http://www.builtinc.com/wp-content/u...91854375_n.jpgBuilt Inc. More at this link: http://www.builtinc.com/?p=919 The first Pink Taco is located in Century City, formerly the site of "Houston's." It makes me wonder what the interior of The Players Club looked liked. A short history of that location: The Players Club (1940 - 1953) Imperial Gardens (1953 - 1989) The Roxbury (1989? - 1997) Miyagi’s (? - 2008) Pink Taco (2012 - ?) |
:previous::previous:
Using HossC.'s search suggestion, I do see that the new incarnation of The Player's Club was mentioned later on.

That said, Pink Taco is the worst name ever. :( |

Here's a billhead I came across earlier today. It's dated 1907. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/844/tj61.jpg After a brief search, I believe the building in the billhead was either replaced by the south tower of the Rosslyn Hotel or the parking garage next door. -while searching, I noticed this old sign on the Rosslyn Hotel South. (I can't quite decipher it) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/31/7up5.jpg detail/GSV __ |

Rock n Roll ...
Here is America's most perfect family of the 1950s....the Nelsons. In this picture we see the the family in their Hollywood home... Ozzie, Harriet, David and Ricky watching a B/W TV and having some milk in the family den. Its really hard to believe but they're all gone now.
Perfect family? Well maybe not but that was the illusion and we loved it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps7a24f565.jpg NBC TV 1822 Camino Palmero Street, Hollywood, CA http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pse6c4606a.jpgLA., O |

One thing leads to another, and back.... I'm out in the desert and have been trying to avoid LA altogether, both the city itself and on the computer. But just when I thought I was out, it pulls me back in.... I happened to look out of my window and noticed the name on the roof tiles. There have been mentions of the L.A. Pressed Brick Co. on the thread over the years--here's a great ad, one especially interesting as it shows the Hall of Justice, due to reopen this year, under construction 90 years ago. http://imageshack.com/a/img203/3458/4r8v.jpgLA Times, Aug 17, 1924 As for the roof tiles seen above... they're atop the Mead-Untermyer house, now a hotel called The Willows in Palm Springs. As I was reading a little of the hotel's history (check it out here), the name "William Mead" rang a bell... so I dug back into NLA and came up with this: Quote:
