My hat's off to you and Noirish Los Angeles, ethereal_reality. It's taken me more than two years to scroll/read/observe the postings made herein; as a result, I've begun to see the City of the Angels through the eyes of one of its "Noirish" citizens. I've lived in Los Angeles since 1977, but I've never seen Los Angeles as Noirish Los Angeles has (not until now, that is).

The building you've noted as being at the corner of White Oak Avenue and Chatsworth, Granada Hills, may very well be the same one in Google maps (now without a second floor, that is). After what I think may have been the Northridge earthquake, the entire second floor of a building on Brand Blvd. in Glendale had to be removed because with it intact, the building had become too unstable (as result of the natural disaster).
