I checked the 1956 and 1960 City Directories, and they list the A. J. Bayer Company at 2300 East Slauson. Would that be the same A. J. Bayer Company who supplied "ornamental iron, bronze and hollow metal doors" to the Fine Arts Building? |
Highly unlikely

Another reason : Tommy Dorsey mastered his trombone (sound and phrasing) until his death better than no other trombonist in the world (jazz or classical). You can't expect that from a drunken musician : the trombone is very hard to master in a physical way and you need to be in a very good shape to play it that well. One thing seems to be true : Tommy Dorsey was known to be aggressive. |

The plaster gingerbread decorations were probably damaged by the numerous Los Angeles earthquakes. They too, fell to the sidewalk, one way or another. She was an attractive building in her day. :( |

http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...2.jpg~original Ancestry.com Every place I looked on the Internet says Hall was born in Fresno, California, but here it says he was born in the Philippines. And I guess the census-taker wasn't a fan; it looks like he started to spell Hall's name John then wrote over it. |

I think the humane thing to do is tranquilize it and move it back up into the mountains. It's going to want to mate sooner or later and will then start trying to roam outside of the park. Not only will that present a challenge to neighborhoods around the park, but it will mean the poor animal will have to risk crossing at least one freeway. It's such a magnificent cat; I wish it were in a safer environment. |

While searching for a vintage photograph of the Slauson building I came across this similar one in San Pedro/Port of Los Angeles. http://imageshack.us/a/img22/7118/insb.jpg Doug Folkerts at http://dougfolkerts.com/page/2 Here's an interesting bit of information. "Originally built in 1920. In 1935 this building was rotated 180 degrees and moved 100 feet from it's original location." http://imageshack.us/a/img12/549/0att.jpg Doug Folkerts at http://dougfolkerts.smugmug.com/Even...etro/i-SVBCstS __ |
