Quote:
This was the loop for the LARY/LATL,LAMTA "S"- formerly "N". Line. An historical description of the route can be found On the Electrical Railway Historical Association of Southern California site and is quoted below: http://www.erha.org/lary_s.htm ‘N’-WEST 9th and UNION STATION LINE (1939-1946) Formed from the ‘N’-West 9th and Civic Center Line, service begun May 3, 1939. ROUTE: From W. 8th and Western Avenue, east to Vermont Avenue, south to W. 9th, east to Spring Street north on Spring to W. 1st Street, east on 1st to Main Street. north on Main to Macy Street, east on Macy to the Union Station Loop at Alameda and Macy Streets. JUNE 30, 1946: Rerouted back to Sunset Boulevard and Spring Street and again named the ‘N’-West 9th and Civic Center Line. ‘S’-SAN PEDRO AND WEST 7th STREET LINE (1950-1963) Formed from the southern portion of the ‘S’-San Pedro and West 3rd Street Line and the west portion of the ‘N’-West 9th and Civic Center Line. ROUTE: From Manchester and Central Avenues, north on Central to Gage, west on Gage to Avalon, north on Avalon and San Pedro to E. 7th, west of 7th to Vermont Avenue, then for a short time north on Vermont to the loop at W. 1st Street, also south on Vermont to W. 8th Street, west on 8th (on former ‘N’-Line trackage) to Western Avenue. Former service on W. 3rd returned to the ‘R’-Line. September 1958: Loops built at Central and Manchester Avenues and at W. 8th Street and S. Western Avenue, the last new trackage of the system built. MARCH 31, 1963: Rail service abandoned. A picture of the loop can be seen four images down on this page: http://www.pacificelectric.org/categ...s-line/page/2/ Note: The loop is still in service today for the Metro 66 line buses.

This is presumably January 1, 1957...a lovely '57 Lincoln Premiere cruising by a record store once at 463 E Colorado. It seems that after Duford-Kaiser and whatever is to its right moved out, a '50s façade may have been removed revealing a Deco one-- https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-x...229%2520AM.jpgGSV Sotheby's is at 459, Linden Optometry at 477.... Anyone know anything about the building's origins? Sopas? I know you're So Pasadena, but perhaps you can enlighten us. Where are you hiding? |
:previous: Looks to be an exceptional art deco building. Love the intricate detail.
I hadn't expected an elevator in the Swan house GW. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...0/191/44pl.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/849/je2l.jpg I wonder how many secret passageways? :) __ 1956 city directory/posted by HossC http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...0/822/eno8.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/809/w2bi.jpg I had no idea the 7 shaped building I asked about was this one! After all these years I'm still trying to locate a photograph of the interior of the 'Stake Out' Bar. You'd think some retired policeman would have put a snapshot or two online by now. (of course, I'm sure there weren't many pictures being taken of their off-hour shenanigans) And speaking of elevators, I remember reading a long time ago that the Amestoy Building was the first commercial building in Los Angeles to have an elevator. (The Amestoy is shown above) __ |
Here's something for you car-guys. What make are these California plated cars?
-a Mercury, but it looks rather unusual to me. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/46/k903.jpgebay and this one. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/837/y8bu.jpgebay |

The Brunners lived in the house from 1905 to 1927 when the residence was torn down. It was built in 1885 according to the info in the USC digital library attached to some other views. Prior to coming to California, the Brunners lived in St. Louis, MO. |

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F...2520PM.bmp.jpgGSV I had to look to see if 2220 Cedar Street still stands; there is no house now at that address. While the Newmans were listed at 2220 before 1923, it turns out that they were later at 2224--which is still there, I'm happy to report. Perhaps the caption-writer applied their earlier address to the later house... |

P.S. Thanks GW for finding out about 340 and 344 S. Kingsley Drive! RIT, I was unable to find a movie star living at 354 S. Kingsley; just a mining engineer in 1920 and a realtor in 1930. |
Yes, no, maybe?

Our Gang At Chevy Dealer
I found this photo glued in a family album. I am not sure if it was just a photo or a post card as I don’t want to ruin it trying to get it off the page. The scan is a little blurry, sorry about that. I have not heard of that Chevrolet dealership before.[IMG]http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/t...s33f7f9d2.jpeg[/IMG]
