Hehe I first saw images of the gas storage tanks in that episode of "I Love Lucy" called "Hollywood at Last" when the Ricardos and Mertzes finally arrive in LA from their road trip across the country. You see them driving into that downtown slot and you can clearly see the storage tanks. I remember as a kid wondering what they were and why they weren't there anymore. Incidentally, you also see them pulling up to their fictional hotel, which in the series was supposed to be in Hollywood but in actuality that building, which still exists, is in Beverly Hills, on Olympic Blvd. |
Well, it
was called the Beverly Palms...but as I remember, the matte painting representing the view out of their room was of Hollywood.... I am going to have to look for the tanks in that arrival episode. I seem to remember "The Stack" making an appearance.... Next time anyone on the blog is cruising around town, please take a picture of the Olympic Bl hotel and post.
