I haven't even been here “for years”, but in the months I have been present I've seen you instigate countless fights with other forum members. I've watched you make rude and sarcastic remarks against E_R. You NEVER stop playing the victim. And I've seen you try to inject your unwanted political opinions, in spite of being warned to knock it off, over and over and over again. You NEVER get a clue. And you are the ONLY person on this forum who acts this way. I've held my tongue every time you've gone out of your way to baselessly attack some forum member I admire and respect. They're all far more intelligent and mature than you could ever be, and don't require my help. But when you start PUBLICLY BRAGGING ABOUT BEATING AND POISONING HARMLESS AND DEFENSELESS ANIMALS, I can hold my tongue no longer. YOU'RE NUCKING FUTS. And for stating that, I make no apology. ------ E_R, my apologies to you if I'm out of line - if you feel I deserve it, I will gladly accept any punishment you feel is fitting. |

WTF has happened to this thread?

Let's chill, folks. This site is too important to have go under over a personal dispute. I've seen it happen too many times.
Cheers, Earl |
Back To Business As Usual?
This screenshot is from the opening of the Dragnet episode Narcotics that first aired January 30 1969. Who knows how much earlier the footage was shot but there sure wasn't much of "The Hill" left at that time.
https://i.imgur.com/YPVOgWe.jpg?1 While on the subject, it has been discussed here that the series Perry Mason had a habit of using the same actors in different roles but Dragnet was essentially a repertory company when it came to bit parts. This gentleman, Howard Culver... https://i.imgur.com/MPSG6XE.png?1 and this lady, Virginia Gregg https://i.imgur.com/dhMzY1c.png?1 each appeared in thirteen episodes, never playing the same character twice. There were only 98 episodes of the 1967 - 1970 color Dragnets produced so that's a pretty impressive average. Is the series still great? Of course it is! |

mystery location. Here's a snapshot of a 1963 Corvette Stingray parked across from Tom's No.5 Hamburger Stand, Los Angeles. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/frpbap.jpg eBay Here's a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/f9vCY9.jpg detail Does anyone know where Tom's No. 5 was located in the 1960s? It looks like it might be somewhere along a beach. Today Tom's No. 5 is located at 4497 W. Pico Blvd. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/q9qrQT.jpg gsv There's a second snapshot of the '63 Stingray on eBay as well. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/dHOm5w.jpg eBay As you can see the background is different. . |

e_r, I know this one from personal history and an affinity for chili burgers. Tom's #5 was a Tommy's knock-off that was not too shabby. I ate there numerous times. It was also on Pico, and near the Beach as you speculated. It was on the corner of Pico and Ocean Ave in Santa Monica, just a couple of blocks from the sand. Believe it or not, that is basically the same building with new cuisine and different surroundings. It's difficult to get a GSV street view from the same vantage point so this was the best I could do. https://i.imgur.com/RjffFn8.png?1 GSV |

_________ Looking at that picture of The "urban renewal" aka destruction of Bunker Hill is so sad. Hill Street Blues. Fortunately the dozers never made it to the flats of the Broadway historic district. Imagine Bunker Hill today if some of the old Victorian neighborhoods had been preserved and mixed with new skyscrapers. Could have been L.A.'s Nob Hill. The destruction of the Richfield tower and Bunker Hill are two of the unfortunate events in DTLA history. The old Hall of Records building should also have been preserved. Looked like a big castle. Had character. The odd angle followed the original street layout. The best and most interesting downtowns mix the best of old and new and preserve the urban fabric and street life. |

I knew the building in the back was the Hotel Casa Del Mar, but couldn't get the angle right. |

____ What is the best deli in L.A.? Some say Langer's, others Canter's. Also, where can you get the best gyro? 8 times out of 10 I'd choose a good gyro pita over a burger if I had the choice, but a good gyro place is hard to find. L.A. needs more Greeks and Turks. Maybe Armenians also serve gyros. Not sure. |
