:previous: Thanks for the reminder Tourmaline.
Since we're discussing the packing plant again, I thought I'd enlarge this photograph from BifRayRock's original post. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/xdYMK9.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...913/EBLqqk.jpg I love the little formal garden. -but why the need for the fence? It's open on the opposite side. Today, the site of the garden and north Cudahy building is a junk yard. :( http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/87mrcX.jpg google_earth __ |
Here is a group of slides from 1952 that resemble today's Instagrams.
A little girl, who happens to look like my cousin, at Hollywood and Vine with the Melody Lane in the background. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/K70M71.jpg eBay Grauman's Chinese Theater (obviously ;)) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/tt999o.jpg Kappa Delta house entrance with the street number 919 (USC or UCLA?) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/911/Egf7eX.jpg eBay This one is a mystery, the rooftop sign at upper right appears to say...farmer's (?) Also note the "Dell entrance" sign. They must be selling computers. Oh wait, this is 1952! ;) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/zazgs3.jpg Another mystery. My guess is the Sunset Strip or Restaurant Row on La Cienega. (see enlargement at the end of the post) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/633/FQvlYv.jpg eBay Vine Street Brown Derby. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/jSObzc.jpg eBay Another type of mystery, 'The Mystery of Life'. (I believe this is Forest Lawn, Glendale) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/p8FX5J.jpg eBay ..and there was also this vertical slide of Grauman's.. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/grNXaj.jpg eBay __ Here's the enlargement I promised. :) Cocktails! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/g5fdTf.jpg detail / eBay Could this be Dino's? __ |

http://www.wsjhistory.com/early_jewish_la.htm The majority 47 of remains from the old cemetery in Chavez Ravine were moved to the B'nai B'rith Cemetery in May, June and July, 1910. They were all located in the Benevolent section of the new cemetery, as approved by the Board of Directors of the Congregation B'nai B'rith. 48 By the end of 1910, all removals were completed. For a short period in the 1930's the remaining cemetery property was leased out as a rubbish dump. 59 In 1938, the federal government proposed a Naval Armory adjacent to the vacant cemetery land. 60 This adjacent land included the portion purchased by the City of Los Angeles in 1905 from the Hebrew Benevolent Society. Arrangements were made and the city conveyed its land, by grant deed to the federal government. 61 On November 30, 1942, a "Us Pendens" action was taken by the federal government concerning the remainÂing vacant cemetery land. 62 On April 29, 1943, the Jewish Social Service Bureau, with the approval of the Jewish WelÂfare Federation Board, sold the remaining cemetery property to the federal government for $4,200.00. 63 Final judgment was on August 23, 1943. 64 This ended Jewish ownership of the cemetery property except for the subsurface oil, mineral and gas rights which are retained by the Jewish Family Service. 65 These oil rights still bring in a small amount of royalties annually.

:previous: Yes, but is it the famous Farmer's Market? I don't recall that type of sign being on the premises.
What does it say under Farmer's Market?....if it says 'shops', then it probably is the iconic landmark. (actually, after I squinted long enough, I think it says 'stores') Now that I think about it a little longer, since the rest of the vintage slides were of tourist attractions, I'd say you're probably correct T2. I've been looking for the sign in question. (but this aerial pre-dates the 1952 slide by at least a decade I'd say) I really need to find a more recent one. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/913/LjCbiV.jpg http://www.farmersmarketla.com/history If we locate the sign, we should be able to figure out the store in the foreground with the 'Dell entrance' and _ _ _ _ _ MAN'S SHOP sign. (probably 'SPORTSMAN') |

You found it!
....and it's still there :). I see they changed the bottom half of the sign. Thanks for your quick response tovanger2. I somehow overlooked this particular sign (and ya'll know how I love rooftop signs;)) _ |

USC.... The KD house was at 919 West 28th... the home of Frederick C. Howes, a county assesor, and later art collector Paul R. Mabury, who died there in 1939. It's gone-- |
:previous: Man, that's bad news. :( It looks like a gorgeous house.

:previous: Good eye CityBoyDoug! I think you're correct.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/911/TREmvb.jpg http://www.delcampe.net/page/item/id...anguage,E.html I believe this postcard shows the same green awning with stripes that you can see in the 1952 slide. And CBD's second photograph shows the oval windows (there's one visible in the 1952 slide). __ I had to smile at "Deanna Durbin hotspots". |

Farmers' Market signage
Quote:
It's on the Fairfax side of Farmers' Market by the parking entrance and has no extra lettering on the street side these days (although it did at least until last August): https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-h...13018%2BAM.jpg gsv december 2014 https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f...14331%2BAM.jpg examiner Looks like the sign's orientation has changed since your tourist photo too. And the "Dell Entrance" is now just called Gate 4 according to the latest plan |

Warner Bros Several online sources say scenes of Now Voyager were filmed at the Victor Hugo Inn in Laguna...standing in for Rio I think it was...or at least used process shots filmed there. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2...I/s720/vh2.jpg flickr https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e...4/s800/vh1.jpg viewlinerltd.blogspot.com |
Victor Hugo's has been rebuilt as Las Brisas, 361 Cliff Drive, Laguna Beach:

The Victor Hugo's type of place probably doesn't fit in today's mix of restaurants. Most all of the white-table-cloth places have closed or been re-born as something else. |
Since we're 'visiting' the Victor Hugo in Laguna, here's a refresher on the Victor Hugo in Beverly Hills.
Quote:
I didn't know 'Now Voyager' used images of the Laguna Victor Hugo GW. That makes me want to see that scene again. Is this where Paul Henreid lights two cigarettes in his mouth and then gives one to Bette?.....or was that in an earlier scene on the ocean liner? I can't remember. __ |
More Patmar's in El Segundo

And here's HossC's original post on Patmar's: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=17128 |
:previous: Thanks for the Daily Breeze link Flyingwedge.
I thought I'd go ahead and post these images. I think they're pretty terrific. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...538/J9ftyU.jpg http://blogs.dailybreeze.com/history...in-el-segundo/ and in 1987, shortly before it was demolished. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...909/N0J0zx.jpg Brad Graverson at http://blogs.dailybreeze.com/history...in-el-segundo/ "The relocated Patmar's restaurant is shown in its later incantation as the pro shop at El Segundo Gold Course (now The Lakes at el Segundo) in this Dec. 18, 1987 photograph." __ |
