There's a few examples of items from the Crenshaw Pottery Company AKA Crenshaw of California on Etsy and eBay: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-a...1%252520AM.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9...3%252520AM.jpg etsy ..................................................................................... Thx Earl. I'll read it. Another rabbit hole to fall into :-) edit: ...OK, I read Ed King's "I Know Who Killed Desmond Taylor" and that was almost too much. Taylor's brother was interesting though. |

I don't think we've seen this image of a Dolores drive-in at Sepulveda and Washington-- looks like it might have been another chain's outlet at some point. Albertson's Oldsmobile next door (4114 Sepulveda)--including its rocket-- was there until recently. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u...2520AM.bmp.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P...2520AM.bmp.jpg Anyone know where the rocket might have gone? |

This article is about the closure of the Dolores Drive-In at Wilshire and La Cienega. It's from the October 2, 1980 edition of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...e.jpg~original news.google.com The restaurant obviously survived into 1981, because that's when KNBC TV interviewed loyal customers having their "last meal". One arrived in a chauffeur driven Mercedes, while another left their VW Thing parked outside. |

__ Here's the first 'mystery' location of 2016. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...910/nhAKQx.jpg eBay :previous:Another unique use of I-beams. (I'm anxious to see if they're still standing) It's too bad there isn't a name on that pastrami shop. (and I can't read the round sign in the distance) If you look closely at the right edge of the slide, there's a slight elevation with a picket fence running up the rise. __ |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...907/8DpzlT.jpg old file / eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...633/IL4Sll.jpg 1956 http://www.theerrolflynnblog.com/201...-devil-double/ http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...908/P3Orbs.jpg http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2...d-a-rare-find/ Unless I'm mistaken, the Culver City Stadium was the second race track in Culver City. "The 1/5th mile track was built in 1932 by the Culver City Kennel Club for Greyhound races. (but anti-gambling legislation closed it in 1934!) The property was sold to Douglas Aircraft in 1954, which later built a plant and office building." http://www.culvercityhistoricalsocie...-racing-scene/ below: As a reminder, (and because this illustration is so damn cool) here's the first Culver City Speedway, which we've covered numerous times on NLA.

It could be Wilshire, as that's where this picture I posted nearly a year ago was taken. It seems to be the same cars in a different order. My original post also has a "now" view. Quote:

I thought the building (in my pic) might be the Ambassador Hotel but it seemed too close to the street. (at first I thought it was the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica)

I was surprised to find yet another slide that shows triangular I-beam construction. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...905/RjLEkg.jpg eBay I was having trouble figuring out the location until a second slide popped up on eBay. (below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...911/C6UnEm.jpg eBay Believe it or not, the Taco House still stands! (& is still in business) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...905/QB0Am8.jpg gsv http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...903/UQytCI.jpg gsv The sign says Taco House #1, so I take it there are numerous locations. |
The Rapp Saloon has only been mentioned once before on NLA (but no photograph)
I found this image from a 1985 calendar. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...911/bHE3Db.jpg eBay from this http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...908/nU2sCP.jpg eBay Good news...it was saved! Today, the old Rapp Saloon stands in front of a hostel & next to an Italian restaurant. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...905/F2uuX2.jpg gsv http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...908/MVvDiW.jpg gsv What a great little building! _ |
'mystery' location.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...903/EmmdiW.jpg eBay At first glance I thought that 'cupola' was on top of the bank, but it belongs to the building next door. _ |
Not too many clues in this 'mystery' slide.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...910/0N7r3H.jpg eBay -Any idea where this desolate corner was located? (I'm sure it's built up by now) Good luck sleuthing. __ |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original GSV The building with the tower is around the corner on Rita Avenue. There's a sign over the door at the base of the tower (hidden by the bush in this image) which says Baptist Day School. The sign facing Clarendon Street says First Baptist Church. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV |

From the east they are/were Solano, Cemetery, Sulphur and Chavez. Solano, a well defined water-course which emptied into the Los Angeles River watershed, has been the location of city reservoirs from a very early time although here a small reservoir is shown at the mouth of Cemetery Ravine slightly east of the actual cemetery. Chavez would become...well you know. The Roman Catholic Cemetery would ultimately become the athletic fields of Cathedral High School where the student body calls itself the 'Phantoms'. kcet |

Call So Cal Auto Club on Figueroa. Unscheduled pit stop? Either this Franklin needs a "cow catcher" to avoid Wishire Blvd. road hazards - or this light model tourer is becoming even lighter by jettisoning parts. Time to trade up to a 1910 model? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...-1209_wood.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...-1209_wood.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._1906-0201.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._1906-0201.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._1909-0701.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._1909-0701.jpg Wild guess, the route was posted?
