The image in question: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...251854fd_b.jpg A-ha, what's this: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...58f1f2e3_b.jpg Let's consult the world's greatest map: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4859f1cf_o.png Lookit that, it's 217 South Bunker Hill Avenue. Ergo: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3cb95fec_o.png The image looks across the very back stucco corner of the Dome to the rear end of 212 South Bunker Hill Avenue. Which, by the way, looked like this: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f2cf5716_o.png In our image, 215 South Grand and 216 South Bunker Hill are gone, which both had demo permits issued in February 1963, so I amend my original speculation about these shots being taken soon after the Hill Crest demo of late 1961... |
Lake Avenue Church Pasadena
I was searching Craigslist this morning and came across this.

https://i.postimg.cc/cJsxZgqH/723165...feb16ab1-o.jpg On Bunker Hill From the George Mann Archives: La Cienega Restaurant Row Seems like it's 38 The blog says that Fairchild's restaurant opened in 1953 in the Cherio Room space, and after the owner brought in scabs after a 1963 strike, was destroyed by fire. https://i.postimg.cc/L5bmbBBr/Sollys124.jpg Fortnight The Newsmagazine of California. Volumes 6-7, page 29 (Google Books) May 27, 1949 issue. Looks like Solly's moved a few doors down. (Plus the skyroom at the Burbank Airport, just because it's there) |
I sure looked at a lot of Richfield stations the other day. Here's one I liked for no obvious reason. Even with the cataloging info, it would probably be impossible to place:
https://i.postimg.cc/t41hthhV/SFVH-1177-full.jpg CSUN But the Photographer is given as Quality Photo Shop, and the library had two others from the same source: https://i.postimg.cc/MTtM8T7S/SFVH-1178-full.jpg CSUN https://i.postimg.cc/CMQ5C9Jm/SFVH-1179-full.jpg CSUN The bottom photo is identified as Glendale Avenue, the other two just Glendale, but the middle photo has a Piggly Wiggly, which is exotic (for me anyway. I know it mostly from Driving Miss Daisy). It might be possible to deduce the locations of these three photos as a group. I know there are commenting systems where people can make notes on various web pages, without the website owners needing to do anything. Wouldn't it be great if the online archives would semi-officially endorse one of these commenting systems? |

Maybe this for the second picture? https://i.imgur.com/XkL10S4.jpg archive.org - The Glendale Evening News 1924-12-24 |

We definitely haven't seen this snapshot. It shows two girls on a motorbike in front of a rather impressive Ionic columnedbuilding which I surmise is a high school. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/35Mvag.jpg ebay As you can see the date is Jan. 1915. The seller says the motorbike is a Harley Davidson. There's a boy/man(?) watching from the portico. . |

In E_R's photo, above the sign on the left that says "Discount Wigs", does that orange sign say "American Massage College"?
