HossC -- thank you for introducing me to "Miss Peggy Pender" and Godzilla for your post I had missed. Wondering how my search skills failed finding that or the LAPL photos. Nevertheless, Poinsettias are a whole different breed of plant in black and white, I must say! Loved all those pics guys!
Martin Turnbull, thanks for pointing out the Pinney house used in the Mad Men episode. I never connected it! |
In addition to Gaylord Wilshire's helpful link, you can back up Google Maps in Android as well. The new one lost so much that I needed that I simply couldn't keep it.
The major drawback to this is that you must turn off automatic updates of your apps in order to keep the old Google Maps. Best to do this first, before you reinstall the old version. That means you must individually confirm updates for all of your apps whenever they notify you of newer versions. After that: You will need to go to Androiddrawer.com where they have old versions of free Android programs. the last old Google Maps is 6.14.4: http://www.androiddrawer.com/13039/d...-14-4-app-apk/ Download the old one to your computer and copy to your Android phone, or download it directly with the phone. Then you need to go to your phone settings and turn off the security restriction that prevents installation of programs from places other than the Google Play store. Then you'll be able to install the older .apk file from your phone's downloads folder. Remember to turn the restriction back on when you're done! The biggest thing lost in the newer Android app was the My Maps feature, which I use extensively and became completely inaccessible with the new app. |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...oinsettia4.jpg Ebay This photo is captioned "The global career of the poinsettia or Christmas star began in Hollywood. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Mexican wild plant was first grown on the large fields of California. The red winter bloomer was offered for sale as a cut flower on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles – and was very popular." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original www.stars-for-europe.com It's a shame that this picture isn't bigger. It shows artist Andreas Roth painting a poinsettia field in Hollywood. There's no date, but he arrived in the US in 1932 and died in 1949. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...oinsettia7.jpg bbhgallery.com I know this location is down the coast a bit from Los Angeles, but I thought I'd include it anyway. The caption says "Laborers work on poinsettias at the Ecke Ranch in Encinitas in 1939." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...oinsettia6.jpg Courtesy Of The Ecke Ranch It was part of the following article: Ecke family made poinsettias a holiday tradition |

I came across this hospital picture last week when we were looking at osteopathic hospitals and sanitaria, but I've only just got around to locating it. USC date the picture as 1939, but the title only says "Hospital". A quick Google, and I found it was St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...StJohnsSM1.jpg USC Digital Library This 1952 aerial shows the original driveway stil intact and the addition of an extra wing to the north. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...StJohnsSM2.jpg Historic Aerials Later additions are shown in this undated postcard. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...StJohnsSM3.jpg www.cardcow.com The hospital was damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Picture and text from www.ngdc.noaa.gov: "Damage to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica. Note X- shaped cracks, particularly in second floor walls between windows. Shear failure occurred in the second story piers and walls. This damage significantly weakened the structure and forced the evacuation of the hospital." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...StJohnsSM4.jpg NOAA/NGDC, J. Dewey, U.S. Geological Survey. One wing had to be demolished after the earthquake, but the original building seems to have survived until around 2004 (this aerial is from 2003). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...StJohnsSM5.jpg Google Earth All traces of the original hospital are now gone :(. |
:previous: Good find Hossc! What an interesting design for a hospital (I'm referring to the 1939 photo).

While 'touring' in the google-mobile I came across a couple charming buildings in the Glendale area.
600 South Central Avenue, Glendale http://imageshack.us/a/img401/7835/prmr.jpg GSV There's a sexy little cartouche above the arched entrance. http://imageshack.us/a/img594/4848/u2pq.jpg detail Side-view from Chestnut Street http://imageshack.us/a/img542/7744/dcb5.jpg GSV The other charming building is next door, Metzler's Violin Shop. http://imageshack.us/a/img62/6294/e909.jpg GSV street scene http://imageshack.us/a/img20/2791/hmbm.jpg GSV aerial showing the pair of buildings http://imageshack.us/a/img59/1325/ebqb.jpg google-earth __ I was only able to dig up this information. http://imageshack.us/a/img36/9148/ot8a.jpg old file/can't remember the source I don't know what it was originally...a post office perhaps? __ |
I got a DVD of the movie Wonderland, about the Wonderland murders, starring Val Kilmer.
The special features include the LAPD crime scene video, dead bodies and all. What a rampage. |
:previous: Sounds noirishly ghoulish Krell58.
__ I found this intriguing 1930 advertisement (with chopsticks) on ebay. The place looks cavernous! http://imageshack.us/a/img7/7590/msra.jpg reverse/-the other addresses are obscured. :( http://imageshack.us/a/img706/10/l1zj.jpg __ Luckily, the advertisement from ebay led me to this article from Modern Mechanix. http://imageshack.us/a/img856/4327/v3s0.jpg http://modernmechanix.com/ I can't help but picture Lucy and Ethel in the kitchen. __ |
