El Segundo has a terrific little movie theater dating from 1921 (!) called the Old Town Music Hall. As a kid in the 1970s I saw many vintage movies there and developed an abiding appreciation for the art of silent film. |

Interesting photos; I was wondering what they might be doing in this picture.
In the panoramic view they appear to be quite far away from the buildings. Quote:

See the full movie here....link below. Lots of fun as ER has said. Be advised that the film really only gets interesting at the 1:00:00 hr mark. The final 30 minutes is the best part. Overall the full film is a rather bizarre 90 minutes. http://youtu.be/nlqT_BoLhj4 film won an Academy Award for Best Art Direction by Herman Rosse, Here's the theme song "Happy Feet"...about a 6 minute clip from the above 1930 film.

Mystery House
[QUOTE=ethereal_reality;6928281]:previous: I appreciate the clarification Hoss. That aerial helps.
Thanks Wig Wag for digging up the information on the 1946 "sowbelly" street-car slide. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/U6we1A.jpg GSV HossC, thanks for your supplement to my post.I should have spent a bit more time on Google maps as I did not realize that the house had been replaced by the Western Exterminator building with I am quite familiar and love for the neon rats that run along the bottom of the sign as seen in the GSV above. I don't think they turn them on any longer, but at one time they were sequentially lighted so as to appear to race across the sign. ER, if my memory hasn't failed me I think we briefly discussed the rats a couple of years ago. Cheers, Jack |

Saugus Rail views

The train in the 3rd picture is Southern Pacific No.58, the LA bound Owl that ran between Los Angeles and Oakland. "The Owl's first run was as the Owl Limited on December 18, 1898. It ran under train numbers 25 and 26. It was renamed The Owl around 1900 and in 1946 was re-numberd as Nos. 57 and 58. The Owl's final run was on April 11th 1965, making it the longest continuously running train on the SP at almost 67 years." (SP Modelers Archive website - http://espee.railfan.net/owl.html) In the photo it is being pulled by one of SP's famous Cab Forward Locomotives. Cheers, Jack |
Saugus station was moved but still exists
Apologize if someone already noted this but I found a web page that explains the chronology of the Saugus station and how it was saved from the wrecking ball (cliche) and moved to the safety of its new home. http://www.scvhs.org/station.htm

In any case, the restored Fox Grandeur version has been released on a Blu-Ray set (along with the full frame) and it's well worth viewing for the amazing cinematography. The acting, not so much. :haha: |
New website popped up this week that might be interesting, HistoricPlacesLA

Looking at the link provided to the SCVHS, brought back some names from my past. Mike Shuman, which was a docent with the SCVHS was my Jr High Principal at Placerita JHS. Thanks. |
An interesting, forgotten film.

Fire Station 14 - 34th & Central Av
There is still a fire station on the site. In the older pictures the steeples of the old St. Patrick's Church are visible.
