And you're right, FW's Excelsior Laundry post was great. I like that he also pointed out the Excelsior Barn on the 1906 Sanborn map. (for Excelsior's fleet of horse drawn laundry wagons) I thought I'd try to line up a before (1933) and after (2014) of the Excelsior Building. originally posted by Flyingwedge http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/nYE0uE.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/W3eeP1.jpg gsv :previous: That's the best I could do. Of all the buildings in this area, I'd especially love to see the Excelsior renovated. It's a beauty. __ |
'mystery' location.
"-CAR no. 1219 Crossing Santa Monica PE." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/BOkLfn.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOS-ANGELES-...item58c3c4022c I know there is a Bekins Storage building on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood, but I can't line up that location with this photograph. Help! __ |
And here's an oddity.

And I loved this one, so much to look at in the background plus the two little houses and the Ponet in the foreground (the POV is from the site of the Baltimore): Quote:

You might be wondering why I'm posting this rather ho-hum gsv view. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...910/NAyvGC.jpg gsv Well, it's because I found the same view, taken back in 1960. (the year I was born ;)) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...633/n5r6wb.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960s-SLIDE-...item23500915a4 :previous: Back then, the 76 Station was a Signal Station, selling something called 'UPTANE' gasoline. And the mid-century building across the street (Santa Monica Blvd.) was home to W.J. German Inc., Eastman Professional Motion Picture Films. I've never heard of W.J. German Inc. Is anyone familiar with it? p.s. the building is empty today __ |

The Forget had gotten into terrible shape as one can see here, but the person who bought it before a friend of my daughter's moved in has redone the floors and replaced the bathrooms and kitchens. There's no original detail inside anymore, but at least it's not scary. The new porch railing and some promised landscaping will help immensely. The porches really make that neighborhood. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote:

Cheval or horse meat is banned for human consumption in the USA. A 2007 Time magazine article about horse meat brought in from Canada to the United States characterized the meat as sweet, rich, super-lean, oddly soft meat, and closer to beef than venison. That's a good description. I've eaten horse meat but I'd avoid it now. Its a misdemeanor to slaughter a horse in CA for human consumption. |

I wish I had come across this amazing business card several weeks ago, when we were discussing the 'mystery' car in the 1950 video.
