That unicorn is a rather odd touch...only in LA. It might be an old movie prop. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psu0mhnxqi.jpg gsv |
We've seen this view before, but with less detail. Hopefully everyone's screen can handle it.

below: mystery street, 1950s http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/901/2VH7nP.jpg eBay I wonder what the guy is going to do with that pitchfork? As for clues, I believe the white building on the right says "Millie's Beauty Salon". __ |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ogShowUSA1.jpg colourfulcactus.com There are no GSV images for 2012 and 2013, but this one from 2011 shows that the unicorn is a fairly recent addition. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ogShowUSA2.jpg GSV BTW. realtytrac.com says the Palace Apartments were built in 1923. |
:previous: The "cutest storefront"? I could think of some other words for it, and "cute" isn't one of them.
I checked out that link....so where was this store located? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...540/6jlwal.jpg http://colourfulcactus.com/2014/12/0...e-front-in-la/ In my humble opinion, it looked better without the wings. __ |

Does anyone know what the large white building, farther up Lake, was? Pretty sure it's not there anymore. |

http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...pswh9slbmw.jpgHDL If I'm not mistaken, this is looking north on Broadway from 6th. Thanks to Michael Ryerson for the correction - This is south on Broadway from 5th. On the right we have the Los Angeles Examiner Building which was in the 500 s. block. Seems like the entire confusion may have come from this small detail: http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...psvob7n1x8.jpg Definitely looks like it says the word "Pasadena" on that sign. Also, I literally just noticed 10 seconds ago, in Tourmaline's original photo, you can even see the Broadway tunnel under Fort Moore Hill at the far end of the street, just beyond Temple. |

Commercial strip

Good guess, bighen. It's looking north on Vermont at W. 74th street: http://i.imgur.com/7rjr0CK.jpg GSV I saw the similarity of the roof-line of two buildings on the east side of Vermont just north of the intersection. However, to the north of those, it looked like there were old bungalows where the piano store should be, so I thought I was wrong. But I went to the Assessor's website and saw that those buildings (3 of them in a row) date from 2004-5. And in both pictures you can (barely) see the steeple of St. Raphael's Church on W. 71st St. near the left-center of both pictures just east of Vermont. Of course this just a few blocks from Florence and Normandie, which was the epicenter of the 1992 riots. This stretch of Vermont was very much affected by the violence. So maybe it's not surprising that there are new buildings in the modern view; the old commercial ones may have burned. |

Spot on, Lorendoc. Millie's Beauty Salon is listed at 7328 S Vermont in the 1956 CD. Here are the businesses from the east side of S Vermont in the 7200 and 7300 blocks from the 1956 CD, some/most of which might be visible in e_r's picture.

:previous: Excellent work bighen, Lorendoc and HossC.
Now do you want to try your hand at locating this photograph ;) (biggest clue? -maybe the gas-meter in the distance) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...540/8ixcmh.jpg https://scag.ca.gov/programs/Pages/P...portation.aspx |
Here's another...
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/905/VsQYmu.jpg old file of mine / amateur slide / possibly eBay There is a Route 66 sign so I'm pretty sure this is Santa Monica Boulevard. but where on Santa Monica Blvd.....what corner? __ |

Cheers, Earl |
My first guess on this ER pic is looking east on Slauson, as you approach Crenshaw. The gasometer would be the one that was located behind the old Arden Milk facility, off Slauson. That shopping center with the Ralphs and National Shirt store looks alot like the one that also had a Thrifty Drug store in it (which was at Slauson/Crenshaw.
