If I'm reading this correctly, the house on the left is the All Nations Library and Clinic. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/O2Nt2o.jpg DETAIL postscript: "Today, the Church of All Nations, what is left of it, sits abandoned, falling apart in downtown Los Angeles. Only 80 years ago, it was at the center of a progressive vision for reform in the city. But the brickbats began to fly and Bromley Oxnam soon departed, red-baited out of the city because organizations like the 'Better America Federation, hated him, hated his vision, and hated how Oxnam defined 'Americanism." from metropolis in the making. los angeles in the 1920s I'm not sure when this was written...so 'today' is unknown. :shrug: __ |

Author John Bengtson has an entire webpage devoted to locations in the film, which can be found here: https://silentlocations.wordpress.co...-chase-part-2/ … and if I may pat myself on the back for a bit, I provided Mr. Bengtson with the one location he was unable to find - he amended the post to mention my small contribution. |

Having said that, the page on John Bengtson’s website documents nearly every single location in the movie, not just those two. |
reference All Nations-Ethereal posting-The book explains about those two houses and two lots were donated to all nation, about 1920 by J. E. Carr. They were located at on 6th st between Stanford and Gladys. They were described as 3 story houses later they were described as two story homes. Base on your photo they are actually two story houses. Bishop G BROMEY Oxnam creator of All Nations was in charge of All Nations then till 1927. The houses were demolished in 1927 to make way for 3 story brick bldg. Then Robert Pastor Mc Kibben was in charge of that Facility until 1952. The book is 310 pages so it has this type of information but it doesn't have a photo of those two houses. Most of the photos in the book are of the people evolved with All Nations and his family.
Anyway on a different note- MGM PR for Community Chess short video "Andy Hardy's Dilemma" shows the day care center inside All Nations. We see all these nice photos of by gone buildings but it is not often to the the interior. especially in a video. |
Ethereal Reality - thanks for the Engineer Bill show link. Fascinating. As a child I always thought he was so old.....
Another aside, there's the bit where Casey throws the mail sack from a moving train. My father used to work the railway mail, on passenger trains running between LA and Chicago and back, sorting, picking up and distributing mail along the way. This was phased out eventually by the rise of air travel. |

No, E_R, no special glasses! I've actually never seen the glasses before, so they're new to me.
I disliked milk as a child, so it was one way my parents got me to drink some. |

I am hesitant to post this, because it is a bit off topic and I don't want to start a thread hijack but --
This is L.A. Noir, which I hope is expansive enough encompass film noir set outside of L.A., at least for a post or two. Many of us have seen every noir film ever made, whatever the setting. And so for those who love the genre, I would like to tip you to a new one, in a somewhat unusual venue. BBC has started to do a series from the Maigret novellas, set in Paris in the 1950s, and starring, of all unlikely people, Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder/Mr. Bean). The first one, "Maigret Sets a Trap," is as nifty a film noir as you could hope for. Not L.A., alas, but the plot, the characters, the period and the cinematography are just IMHO perfect. Streaming on britbox.com. You can use your free trial period to see it. And please, this is just a tip, not intended to turn into a diversion. Cheers, Earl |

Gandy dancer is a slang term used for early railroad workers in the United States, more formally referred to as "section hands", who laid and maintained railroad tracks in the years before the work was done by machines. The British equivalents of the term gandy dancer are "navvy" (from "navigator"), originally builders of canals or "inland navigations", for builders of railway lines, and "platelayer" for workers employed to inspect and maintain the track. In the Southwestern United States and Mexico, Mexican and Mexican-American track workers were colloquially "traqueros".From YouTube: The Gandy Dancers - Engineer Bill 1958 HQ Novelty Train Songs |
:previous: Thanks Hoss. I don't believe I have ever heard the term Gandy Dancer before. (I've led a sheltered life ;))
'mystery' location. (sort of) "1928 Los Angeles Sunset Strip near Clark Larson's Vegetable Stand Store" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/QJAlz8.jpg EBAY I decided to go see if any remnants were left of this place. (although I seriously doubted it) One thing I didn't know/or remember is that Clark St. is what San Vicente Blvd becomes when it crosses over Sunset. p.s. It must say Larson's on the back..because I don't see it anywhere on the front. __ update: back has in pencil- "H.O. Larsons Veg. Stand 1928, Sunset Near Clark" |

Your posts have been a breath of fresh air Scott Charles. Pleeeeeeaze keep contributing.
I've made abysmal mistakes (and some silly ones too) Early in the thread I wrote that I could see an airplane's entrails in the sky of an old photograph. GW pointed out, rather gleefully, that I must have meant contrails. |
