Have we seen this image before? I searched likely terms, but came up empty.
Photograph taken at the head of 5th Street on Fremont looking east, showing possibilities of extending 5th Street thru to Olive Street, Los Angeles, 1922 In the background, the State Normal School doesn't have long left. To its right is BIOLA. The building with the undulating roof in front of the State Normal School has a sign saying "Normal Garage". I could only find that name in the 1914 CD (with an address as 500 S Flower Street). The directories contemporary with this picture list the garage of C D Morris at that location. I'm guessing that the "Normal Garage" name was due to its proximity to the school rather than a direct connection. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original USC Digital Library |

The troubles with using cut-and-cover for the Hollywood Subway are (1) the cut would have to be really deep toward the crown of the hill and (2) there were structures above the right-of-way that would've required purchase and demolition. However, you triggered an interesting thought about the proposed (1907) but never built Vineyard Subway that would've run from the LAP/PE Hill St. Station to Venice and San Vicente Blvds. LAP/PE/SP for decades held properties/easements that cut a swath through what's now Koreatown. It's possible they employed that strategy because cut-and-cover construction would've made sense for much of the route then. (I'm not sure if the Vineyard Subway has been discussed on NLA before; my search attempt failed.) OTOH, I'm afraid that contemporaneous reports of the Hollywood Subway's construction made no mention of Lizard People, though there are some who might say that various characters in the Frank Shaw administration bore a striking resemblance. ;) |

Tracking down the lizard people of Los Angeles is still a big undertaking. Do they live in caves around Los Angeles? The simple answer is yes they do. When I retire later this year I plan to continue the hunt for the lizard people who have lived in these caves for over 5,000 years. Some believe they arrived in the LA area aboard a crashed UFO. I'm sorta sure of that but not 100%. Any ideas? I am in the process of obtaining a grant from LA City Council. They'll go for it we're sure. One reporter has already called our group 'whackos"...how rude. I'll let you dear nourishers know how the quest goes. Oh, the article below is from 1934. I remember we've discussed the lizardians before on NLA. https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/i...tiles17_04.jpg LA Times/https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_sumeranu/reptiles17_04.jpg |
Views from Belmont Hotel and Vicinity
The Belmont Hotel was located where Belmont High School is now, on the SE corner of Beverly Blvd. and Loma Drive
(north of Beverly, Loma turns into Belmont Avenue). The building opened in September 1884 as Ellis Villa College, reopened as the Belmont Hotel in July 1886, and it burned down on December 16, 1887. Quote:
HossC did a great job merging two 1886 views from the Belmont Hotel into one panoramic photo. That's Belmont Avenue running north from the cable cars, next to the grocery store: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...f.jpg~original This is the full left-hand photo from the panorama. If you look at the extreme left edge of the photo, starting in the lower left corner and working your way up, the first thing you see is sort of a small dark blob (a bush?) with two little white dots underneath it. There are two lighter blobs/bushes to its right. Directly above the dark blob/bush and just below the road is the rear half of a horse: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psw8jwaw1p.jpg 1989-0628 @ CA State Library Now check out the right edge of this 1886 photo . . . there are the same three blobs/bushes and above them the whole horse. The house above the horse, across the road, also matches, as do the mountains in the background. So now we have an even wider 1886 panoramic view from the Belmont Hotel: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psruweuzgr.jpg 1989-0699 @ CA State Library (The Seaver Center has the same photo, gpf.4871) At this point I'll ask you to please go back up one photo, to the one with the rear end of the horse at the left edge, and look at the dark house in the foreground, closest to the camera. Don't worry, I'll wait here until you scroll back down . . . . In the c. 1890 photo below, you'll see that same house in the lower left corner, to the left of the light pole. I can't read what's on the pennant on the three-story building, but it sits on the NE corner of what is now Beverly and Belmont: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9y1i0daa.jpg 1989-0456 @ CA State Library ("View in Los Angeles, Cal." by William Henry Fletcher) That three-story building is not on the 1888 Sanborn, but here it is in 1894, with that distinctive "slice" taken out of the top two stories. At far left is that dark house (1621 W. 1st Street, as it was then known), and at far right is the little store that we see in the above photo with its porch sticking out into the street: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...i.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL There are at least two more views from the Belmont Hotel. One of them, here, doesn't seem to connect to the left edge of the photo two images above. There is another photo that connects to the left side of e_r's linked photo, but I can't find it at the moment. |

Have they been in movies? Yes, they have...ever since the 1920s at least. Also, its now being revealed that a few of the movie producers are at least part Lazardian....or they are acting like the lizard creatures. My team is raring to go deep underground in a few months to locate their dens and places of lodgement. Thanks Hollywood G. for your interest in this saga. We need all the help that we can get. |

Thx again Hoss.
It was unthinking of me not to include the POV CBD, but here's an approximate "now" shot: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sE...U=w618-h525-no gvs The lay of the land is still (mostly) there, except much of Normal hill is missing. |
re: I now have three different locations for the Atlas Hotel.

Remember, at the time, Mrs. Roberts was in Los Angeles trying to lure girls to Randsburg Calif to work at her 'dance' hall. "Mrs. Roberts operated her establishment under the name of “My Place Dance Hall,” sometimes known as “The Oasis,” and right next door was her saloon. I’m sure it is fairly easy for you to figure out that Marguerite was a madam who ran this as a “bawdy house,” which caused much consternation among the more “decent” town folk." from CindyN11 Marguerite's dance hall still stands. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/UYGDM1.jpggsv "The Randsburg Inn, formerly the Commercial Hotel, and at one time the My Place Dance Hall." during my search I came upon Mrs. Roberts' tombstone in the Rand District Cemetery. (I wasn't expecting this) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/SWpYyx.jpg explore forums Surprisingly, she died less than three years after her procuring trip to L.A. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/zMCZ3p.jpg But was 'Marguerite' really French? "The majority of “soiled doves” lied, fabricated and twisted the truth about who they were and where they came from. They rarely used their real names and often were just known by nicknames. During this era the crème de la crème of the dance halls, bawdy & parlour houses and brothels were French women, most likely due to the popularity of erotic French Postcards. French “sporting women” commanded a higher price for their services, so, as a consequence, many a home-grown American floozy moved to new pastures, recreated themselves and became a ‘French’ courtesan." CindyN11 Cindy at explore forums believes 'Marguerite' Roberts was actually Emily Brickett of San Bernardino....not from France as stated in her obituary. (in 1892 she became Emily Jarrick after marrying August H. Jarrick in San Bernardino) But in my opinion, Cindy's theory has a slight problem. Emily Jarrick was committed to an asylum by her husband in 1900. Yet the newspaper article I found (while looking for the Atlas Hotel) has 'Marguerite' Roberts in Los Angeles in 1904. So I'm not entirely convinced Marguerite Roberts and Emily Jarrick are the same person. (of course she could have been released from the asylum by 1904, but still :shrug:) If interested, you can read all of Cindy's research here: Explore Forum (as far I can tell, she is unaware of Mrs. Roberts' trip to L.A. in 1904) __ |
