Also, I'm generally a fan of Julius Shulman but the office tower at Space Park is not a favorite of mine. I'm easily irked by multi story buildings so near to single story residential neighborhoods. It sticks out like a sore thumb, in my cranky opinion. https://i.postimg.cc/q7Tj48Cz/sp2.jpg But it does photograph well, as seen here in the Star Trek episode "Operation: Annihilate!" |

Our babysitter always had that canned grapefruit juice every morning.....along with Malt-O-Meal. Grapefruit in 2018 are natural hybrids and considerably sweeter. https://sparklelivingblog.com/wp-con...6923473942.jpg.....https://www.brightwalldarkroom.com/w...rapefruit.jpeg parkle The famous "grapefruit scene" with Cagney shoving the fruit in Mae Clark's face wasn't that big a deal back then and the scene happens so fast you almost miss it. Filmed at Warner Bros in Burbank 1931 |

Appreciate the feedback (including the WWII suggestion of lacing grapefruit with NaCl2). The "gray" 5 cent refund token was silver in color and made of soft aluminum. I would think that material was probably in short supply during WW2, but maybe not. :shrug: (Anecdotal evidence may be that the Ralphs' token is pre WW2 per the Helms token below.) I recall refunds being offered for recycling milk and soda bottles, but unless coinage was in short supply too, that would seem to make the tokens mere novelties. The tokens could also be used as collateral for return of reusable crates, per bottom token. These "trade tokens" probably served not only as advertising, but also an inducement to shop at the issuing store, not unlike discount coupons or being part of a club membership. This aluminum "Helms" trade token is said to be from the '30s http://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/g/b/j/...27mm_1_lgw.jpghttp://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/g/b/j/...27mm_1_lgw.jpg http://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/i/p/v/...oken_1_lgw.jpghttp://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/i/p/v/...oken_1_lgw.jpg http://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/g/a/m/..._gft_1_lgw.jpghttp://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/g/a/m/..._gft_1_lgw.jpg March 1937, Celebrating "Transportation Week." http://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/h/v/q/...eek__1_lgw.jpghttp://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/h/v/q/...eek__1_lgw.jpg Verso http://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/h/v/q/...eek__2_lgw.jpghttp://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/h/v/q/...eek__2_lgw.jpg "Return our crate" From the 1900s per source. http://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/i/e/k/...oken_2_lgw.jpghttp://numismaclub.com/imgs/a/i/e/k/...oken_2_lgw.jpg |

I came across this drawing the other day.
Los Angeles County Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant, 1956http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...igeration1.jpg USC Digital Library I don't remember ever noticing this building before, so I thought that maybe it was never built. However, when I jumped into the Googlemobile, there it was right opposite the Hall of Justice. It looks like it's been modified over the years, but some of the original design elements are still visible. I've inset a slightly larger image of the lettering on the front. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...igeration2.jpg GSV |
:previous:
I had to look up what goes on there. Most descriptions I saw were from when it opened: "First in nation--Los Angeles County Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant at the Civic Center opened on Thursday, August 21, 1958. The first of its kind in the nation, this complex octopus-like system will carry heat and refrigeration to various county buildings." |
Here's an amazing photograph.
"Snapshot Photo 1929 Motorcycle Image of Laura on So. Figuroa Los Angeles Calif." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/YJBuqU.jpg Ebay "This image came from an album put together by Harold Gates, a motorcycle racer." I know the Automobile Club of Southern California was located on South Flgueroa. I wonder if the American Automobile Owners Association was located nearby? :shrug: __ I wasn't able to find any information on Harold Gates. EDIT. I just found a group of photographs of Harold Gates. I'll post them in just a few minutes. |

ETA. I've just found this great picture of the building. There's another angle in the set. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nersAssoc1.jpg USC Digital Library And here's a close-up of where Laura was posing. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nersAssoc2.jpg |

THANKS HOSS! You're fast! Snapshot Photo 1929 Motorcycle Images Racer Harold Gates California +1918 Photo "Harold and his military Harley." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/pciz2M.jpg This is the 1918 photo. I believe the woman in this photograph might be Laura, the woman in the previous post. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/DGdl6C.jpg ...the seller describes the woman as Harold's girlfriend. [location unknown] The woman in this photo appears to be somewhat older. (Laura's mom?) and little sister? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/ptEYcQ.jpg All from Ebay |
Harold Gates, mystery location. (with Laura?)
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/EZigPz.jpg Ebay Does anyone recognize this place? __ |
I took a closer look at the other view of the American Automobile Owners Association building, and wondered about the building on the right. Zooming in showed a small sign saying "Elgin Arms". The 1930 CD (the same year as the photo) lists it at 525 W 20th Street.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ElginArms1.jpg USC Digital Library I can't find demo permits for either building, but the Elgin Arms seems to disappear between the 1952 and 1964 images at Historic Aerials, and the AAOA building between 1972 and 1980. BTW. The structure at the far right that looks like the top of a castle is the extant Mode O' Day/Washington Furniture Co Building at 155 W Washington Boulevard. Quote:

Thanks unihikid and HossC for idenitying the Fox Inglewood Theater.
Here's a recent street view. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Hpb2ok.jpg GSV Note: The large marquee is still in place (under all that blue plywood) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here's a 2nd view - from a slightly different perspective - of the old parochial school (the Fox Inglewood is in the background on the left). https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/6WYwuq.jpg You can compare it to the photograph I posted earlier HERE In that earlier view did you notice the cozy hamburger stand in the lower left corner? [see below] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/57Ektk.jpg DETAIL ........................................................................................................................:previous: IT HAS THREE OUTSIDE STOOLS (there's a big RUMP on the 3rd one) And there's still a hamburger stand at that location. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/OYWkU0.jpg GSV __ |
Not Los Angeles, but...
There is a newly digitized photo archive of New York City taken in the 1930's-1940's of every building on every block for property tax purposes. The archive has 720,000 photos to peruse. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...ax-photos.html https://www1.nyc.gov/site/records/index.page |

These 10 clippings suggest the grapefruit scene was very much a big deal back then (e.g., "James Cagney made an overnight triumph" in #2, "immortal episode involving grapefruit" near the end of #5, "The grapefruit joke still goes on at Warner Brothers" in #6, and "famous breakfast scene" in #10). Edwin Schallert misidentifies the fruit in his review of The Public Enemy in the May 18, 1931, Los Angeles Times: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psvtfixp6z.jpg All the images in this post are from Los Angeles Times articles at ProQuest via LAPL "Cavaliers of Cinema Passe" by Margaret Reid, August 30, 1931: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psciv3nkzu.jpg "Cagney Becoming Favorite with New Technique" by Edwin Schallert, January 14, 1932: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psrubphrue.jpg "Sock in Jaw Supplants Fade-Out Kiss" by Edwin Schallert, January 17, 1932: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...pstqekgvyl.jpg "News and Gossip of Stage and Screen" by Norbert Lusk, May 28, 1933: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psnn9bkfrm.jpg http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psxguyhtui.jpg Edwin Schallert, September 12, 1933: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psssf9iyvq.jpg Unknown author, December 10, 1933: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psq6xag0ci.jpg Unknown author, February 16, 1935: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psj1skk0pp.jpg "James Cagney Scores Producer’s Methods" by Sheilah Graham, September 18, 1936: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psllyv5z1n.jpg "Mae Clark, Cagney Lead, Signs Contract for Five Pictures" by Edwin Schallert, October 22, 1936: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...psr28gu5yh.jpg |

"“Internally, grapefruit is a great example of a fruit that is loaded with skin-protective antioxidants and also has a high water content, which helps keep your skin’s barrier (the outer layer) hydrated and more resistant to wrinkle-causing free-radical damage from the sun and daily pollution,” says Los Angeles dermatologist, Howard Murad, MD. “A great benefit of grapefruit is that it promotes the production of collagen, thus making the skin more plump and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping the skin looking younger and more supple.” “Grapefruit has excellent astringent and exfoliating properties that are perfect for oily or acne-prone skin,” says Washington, DC, dermatologist Elizabeth Tanzi, MD. “It also increases the pH of the skin, which may reduce acne,” adds Dr. Murad. https://www.newbeauty.com/blog/daily...om-grapefruit/ Cinematic Dermatology has never been given the credit which it is due! |
