He later played the butler "Lurch" on the Addams Family. The grim girl is probably reflecting on her lousy job where she is constantly hit on by her rotten boss, or maybe other grim realities of the 1950s like mushroom clouds and Joe McCarthy, or maybe she is just dog tired and her feet hurt. The days before "social distancing". The blond lady behind her appears to be checking her cell phone. |

Just so we don't have to eat "Soylent Green". I also refuse to eat bugs although I make an exception for crustaceans. Nutburgers sound pallatible, as are soyburgers. "Soylent Green (spoiler)...IT'S PEOPLE!!!"...Charleston Heston at his hammy over the top best(?). Also last pic of the GREAT Edward G. Robinson, so good in top noir "Double Indemnity". |

Hey thanks GW for posting. |

Thanks to all you NUTS who helped locate Nutburgers, A.K.A Gates' Nut Kettle! ...(especially Noir Noir) I was beginning to think we'd never find it. . |

Mystery doorway, downtown Los Angeles [1971] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/sUdJxl.jpg anthonyhernandez At first I thought this was the 'keyhole' doorway at the Melody Lane in Hollywood. ..HERE Mr. Hernandez camped out across the street and captured numerous bar patrons leaving the premises in the harsh afternoon light. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/OtiDjp.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Ra02KH.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/z1ziP1.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/cHpKsC.jpg There are additional photographs. . . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/yDZpYW.jpg but I wasn't able to find closer views of the other patrons. vincentborrelligallery Vincent Borrelli Gallery doesn't include the word 'downtown' in the description. . .but another site clearly described the photographs as 'downtown Los Angeles'. (but that site now redirects to widgetservice) . |

That's what came to my mind first, too. Seems extremely short hours...Open 8-12. Many online links to things about this photo describe the location as a bar/restaurant or just restaurant. With those hours? |
:previous:
Hmmm. The light appears to be natural sunlight, so the hours can't be 8 PM to midnight; nor does 8 AM to noon sound very fruitful for a bar. I'm thinking the hours are 8 AM (breakfast crowd) to midnight. |
[QUOTE=MartinTurnbull;8907772]To film the spectacular Circus Maximus chariot race for 1924's Ben-Hur MGM built an enormous set where La Cienega and Venice Boulevards meet. La Cienega is the straight road cutting the top left hand corner, and Venice is the one at a slight diagonal from one side of the photo to the other. Most of this land is now home to the Santa Monica Freeway.
https://martinturnbull.com/wp-conten...geles-1924.jpg Looking at Google Maps myself, I'd say you're mistaken about this location. We are looking West and the street in the upper left is most definitely Venice Blvd. La Cienega was not a divided at that location. The Diagonal road cutting closest to the set then is Fairfax, not Venice. You can tell from the aerial because Kaiser Permanente is East of La Cienega blvd. but West of Fairfax. The diagonal road running from the middle of the left side to the upper right is Sawyer. |

RE:...mystery door hours. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/BNtWqN.jpg detail I took it to mean 8 A.M. to 12 Midnight. Does anyone know when 'last call' was in downtown Los Angeles in 1971? . |

This excellent photograph was on eBay not too longer ago. It was taken during the Shriner's Masonic Convention in 1925. We have seen similiar photographs but I don't believe we have seen this particular one. (I could be wrong, of course) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/mHgs28.jpg eBay The Broadway Department Store can be seen on the right. Also on the right; you can see two faux-camels on enormous bases....(not to mention the fake palms) There's a strange looking street 'trolley' in the middle lane. (it looks it's been squashed) I wonder if that's a doctor's bag in the back of the pickup. This poor guy appears to be having some difficulties with his automobile. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/XYkj6f.jpg detail I think he's trying to push it back to give him more room for a running start. There's the doctor's bag. (I'm just guessing it's a doctor's bag) . |
