On the left of the above photo, across the street in the background, is most likely the marquee of the Paramount (El Capitan) Theater, so I'm guessing that she is in Toff's Coffee Shop that was on the corner in the area of all the photos in the post. Quote:

We're south of the Boulevard on Schrader. I can't explain the sign (above) unless the street name was changed at some point. Schrader almost lines up w/ Hudson. Neither cross Hollywood Blvd (Schrader running south of it and Hudson to the north): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lo...Tu4=w1366-h768 gsv Quote:

ethereal_reality - St. Brendan was our parish church in the 1950s and early 60s and also for me in the 1970s. I thought the view looked familiar right away. I remember the Craftsman house on the SW corner of 3rd and Van Ness well. Thanks to tovanger2 and CityBoyDoug for elaborating! -------------- |

The Ralphs at 3410 W Third--seen in both views above across Vermont Avenue from the house circled--appears to have been built in 1948. As for the house, it is 317 S Vermont.... Its story is here https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xC...366-h768-rw-no |

Wasser's website is here A short article/book review re Wasser, and Weegee's influence on the teen, is here "One day the bureau [AP] was visited by the legendary crime photographer Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee, who was in Washington promoting a book. “He invited me to ride along with him in his car,” says Wasser. “He had an old Chevy, and he’d cruise around the city taking pictures. He was a fat dirty slob but he was very interesting, and as a spot news photographer he was the best.” The only advice he gave the young upstart was “find another profession”, but Wasser was hooked. “I would steal my father’s car and listen to my police radio, respond to the calls and shoot pictures that I would sell to The Washington Post. They paid only $25 a picture." https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ND...iDk=w1366-h768 coagula ...I'd guess Wasser was there b/c he was well-trained, very experienced and obsessed w/ getting the shot. |

This was taken inside the Midway Furniture store at 8764 S. Broadway. Here's a current view: http://i.imgur.com/Dx9BnLF.jpg GSV Note the roof line of the buildings on the west side of Broadway in each photograph. Thrifty's was at 8763 S. Broadway. There are two shotguns to be seen in the 1965 picture: with the eye of faith, the less threatening one seems to say 8700 S. |

Huh. That's a Max Maltzman building from 1946. Maltzman also did the Ravenswood, the Wilshire Bowl & many others including 410 N Rossmore (sort of), if you remember that one. Excellent. Thank you Lorendoc. |

:previous: Several sources say St. Brendan was the church used in the last moments of the 1953 'War Of The Worlds
"The church, where Dr. Forrester (Gene Barry) searches for Sylvia (Ann Robinson) as time runs out for the human race, is St Brendan’s, Third Street at Van Ness Avenue." http://www.movie-locations.com/movie...l#.WGanbhsrJPY But when I watched this clip the interior looks different. ...so I'm not entirely sure what scene they're talking about. For comparison, here's the amazing sanctuary of St. Brendan. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...922/xTBRAE.jpg yelp I couldn't help but notice the glow at the peak of the roof.:previous: Well it turns out the church has a unique skylight! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/7ia5ML.jpg yelp :previous: So beautiful! vintage St. Brendan http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/BKumjE.jpg old file Here's a complete list of movies that have used St. Brendan. 19 titles! http://www.imdb.com/search/title?loc..._=ttloc_loc_10 __ |
