Earlier today I happened upon a rather [remarkable] horizontal photograph of oil workers. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/nH6nq8.jpg FOUND HERE As you can see: The Ponet Apartment Building is in the background, on the far left end, of the horizontal photo shown above https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/coB6X6.jpg DETAIL lol. A first I thought the street lights were on. oops-they're not even street lights. *checks glasses* The site includes several close-ups.

I've read that only a third of businesses survive after being inherited by offspring. “many of the numerous regular patrons wanted to buy it or take it over”... this makes me angry. The restaurant could still be operational, were it not for the greed of the sons. Idiots is right. :mad: |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nLocation7.jpg This is the store next to the West Coast Camera Center. I could only make out a billboard in the reflection. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nLocation8.jpg Finally, I guess this is supposed to be the Federal Building. The view of the Plaza, Union Station etc is about right, but I think the angle of the windows is wrong. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...nLocation9.jpg All screengrabs Edward Small Productions/Reliance Pictures |

What church belonged to the two turrets shown below? (normal peaked turret; left. pith helmet; right) It really does look like a pith helmet!) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/ri2LVt.jpg annnnd....I never noticed the three daughters and mother in the photograph. (initially, I thought the daughters were part of the billboard behind them) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/ByIm5i.jpg Very seldom (if ever) have I pointed out a doppelganger of mine...but this one is even the same height! (i.e. short) Do you see which one I'm talking about? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/kGzJ7y.jpg Have any of you ever found a doppelganger in an old photgraph? _ |
One more question. Why are the oil workers posing on this particular street? [Grand Ave.] Was their headquarters nearby?
(I wasn't able to find any answers in the city directories) |
Does anyone remember my post, from a few weeks ago, about a mystery park called Glen Rosa?
this place..with the spiral hedge https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/BCHweQ.jpg old file / unknown origin At the time, the only information I had was that it was located in Pasadena and that the park included occult symbols. Zodiac perhaps? Well, I finally have a lead. "Down the street from Carmelita(?), was the estate of Thomas Nelmes, called 'Glen Rosa'. Nelmes was a wealthy Scottish born tea merchant from London. Nelmes' thirty acres extended from California north to Palmetto...and west into the bottom of the Arroyo. Unlike the other properties in town, Glen Rose was primarily planted as an ornamental garden. Its design harked back to a long tradition of the garden as a sacred place, a place for meditation and revelation. The garden was filled with unusual and whimsical ornamental devices borrowed from European landscape traditions, including representation of occult signs. A cypress bower in the shape of a triangle marked the entrance to the property on Orange Grove." found HERE See, I wasn't crazy after all! *hops around room* _ |

"View of Hope Street where a variety of religious agencies are located. From left to right, the First Evangelical Church, located on the corner of Hope and 12th streets, the Los Angeles Chautauqua Association, and The Federation Book and Bible Store." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...angelical1.jpg LAPL Here's the church a few years earlier (circa 1913). In the foreground is Fiesta Park. This image was previously seen in GW's post #11440. "Fiesta Park is a defunct grandstand in Los Angeles, located at 12th & Hope. The First Evangelical Church is in the background. Long rows of policemen in uniform stand at attention while a car with dignitaries passes by them in review. An American flag can be seen being held by one of the units. This review was held in Fiesta Park." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...angelical2.jpg LAPL Finally, here's a reminder of where Fiesta Park was located. Quote:

Corner of 7th and Alvarado Streets, opposite MacArthur Park, 1952
A regular follower of my vintage photo blog sent me this photo of his family standing at the corner of 7th and Alvarado Streets. MacArthur Park was behind the photographer and Langer’s Deli was across the street (as it still is.) Because of those US Marine and Army photos next to them, I thought this was taken during WWII but the year was actually 1952, so those posters were for Korean War recruitment. I love that semaphore traffic signal right behind them, but I’m also wondering if anybody remembers the store behind them—Charleston’s. What did they sell?

More Perry Mason
I don't think any series recycled sets, cars, or actors more than Perry Mason-- I haven't seen all espisodes, but here is a house I hadn't seen used before, and I pegged it for a real one, not one on a backlot.... Only the front door is shown, but the style and the number were good clues to finding the location. https://i.postimg.cc/dV47y55s/pm160sjunedoor-UT-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3RCQkcZ9/pm160s...actors-bmp.jpg Peggy Knudsen, Karl Weber, and Mary La Roche all played different characters in different episodes... "160" and the style suggested to me Hancock Park or Windsor Square a block or so below 1st St...a little google cruise...and up turned 160 S June St: https://i.postimg.cc/T1FzFv2d/pm160-...oornow-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ry7y7vPR/pm160s...usenow-bmp.jpg Completed in 1932--arch Arthur Kelly What's especially curious about this house is that it was owned at the time the PM episode was filmed by Suzanne Adams, a daughter of King Vidor.... I wonder, other than that since she was getting divorced at the time and might have liked the rental fee, how the house came to be used for filming. Industry connections, I suppose. And it turned out that we've seen scenes of the "The Case of the Spurious Sister" here on NLA before... First in Earl Boebert's post 31579 (2015) --here's Peggy Knudsen as a toothy gambleholic married to businessman Weber (they lived at 160 S June) on some errand in her Edsel... http://www.bitsmasherpress.com/LANoir/MidCent.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/bYbndHbM/pmlax-bmp.jpg The Corsair 4-door hardtop was seen in several episodes along with convertibles and others; the 52-53 Mercury with Continental kit at left seems to be used in street scenes in various episodes. Perhaps it belonged to a crew member and was used to fill in as a parked car...at right it appears in a shot also in Case of the Spurious Sister. And from HossC's post 31591 (2015) http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...a.jpg~original I'm not sure if this location was ever found.... |

....also Germanic: the Kaiser Apartments a block to the east. [next to the Pleasanton Hotel]] &...it had slipped my mind that the Ponet Apts./Ponet Sq. Hotel anchored the southeast corner of Fiesta Park. I mean..jeeze. I found a few more interesting facts about the surrounding area that I don't believe have come up on NLA. but first I have to drive to Illinois. I'll post them later tonight. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/utJVhG.jpg off I go... |
