Interesting 'The Sky Rider' post BRR. I love the graphics on the old poster and lobby card.

I forgot that it used to say Edison Building above the Million Dollar Theater marquee. Most of us know it as the old Metropolitan
Water District building. So obviously Edison has a history in the building as well (something I completely forgot until BRR's post).

I just found this beautiful illustration on ebay last night.








As I 'drove' down the 900 block of South St. Andrews Place my hopes dwindled that this exquisite house stills existed.
The street itself is a mess (cracks and holes...shitty curbing), and the neighborhood is chock full of awful apartment buildings.

But as I got closer to number 965 my hopes lifted.

Eureka! It survives. -but a little hard to see behind a shroud of trees.
