Here's a very noirish looking Los Angeles bar from the 1940s.

Re Redondo moonstones: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J...4%252520PM.jpg redondo reflex, 2/29/1914 (more clippings, pix, etc at the link) I had a great bag of moonstones as a child, all collected at Hermosa. I'm not sure what happened to it, I think my little sister made away with it. A friend's aunt made her living polishing beach stones (and also making custom murals from colored electrical wire... how 50s is that?). She sold the stones to local shops. ___ |
:previous: I looked up vintage moonstones. I didn't realize they were so beautiful.
I think you need to snoop around in your sister's attic for your moonstone collection t2. ;) _ This is interesting.

Have you ever wondered what the public drinking fountains looked like at Exposition Park in 1926?

I remember those old drinking ''fountains". They gave you a drink and a face-wash at the same time. |
The description for this Julius Shulman photoset says "View of valley from Mulholland, includes background of Universal Studios.". It's "Job 4437: City Views (Los Angeles, Calif.),
1968". The color shots include a couple like this one looking across the Hollywood Freeway. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Then there are wider shots. I've cropped a lot of sky out of this one to present it as a panorama at full-resolution. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original One of the two black & white photos in the set is similar to the first image above, but the other looks across Hollywood. In the top-left corner you can just see the Civic Center, with the mircowave tower on the AT&T building and a couple of DTLA towers to its right. Under them is Capitol Records and the buildings around Hollywood and Vine. It's also easy to follow the taller buildings along Wilshire. NB. The clouds in the original image are quite impressive, but I've cropped them again to leave a panorama. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute |
Hoss, I wonder if Mr. Shulman used this Universal City Overlook area for his 1968 color view?

Thanks, e_r, I think you're right. I drove the Googlemobile along some of Mulholland, but didn't find the Universal City Overlook. Here's a more recent panorama taken from there. I found it at americansouthwest.net. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original www.americansouthwest.net |
Grisly deaths of 1947
Another in NLA's ongoing series of images of cops crouching over the recently and violently deceased:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M...9%252520PM.jpg lapl LAPL caption: "Photograph article dated November 22, 1947 reads, 'Despondency over a bone affliction which had kept him out of service in World War II was believed the cause of a 10-story plunge yesterday by Goodwin Bertram Aurback, 38, Veterans Administration case-worker, from the roof of a building at 1031 S. Broadway. Aurbach complained to Harold Epstein, 2277 Cove Ave., a co-worker, of feeling ill and depressed after lunch. He left his office on the 11th floor, ostensibly to visit the nurse's office on the 12th floor. A few moments later workers on various floors saw a body hurtling down the well between two wings of the building. The body landed on the third-floor set-back. Aurbach leaves his widow and a child of 2301 Bentley Ave."' 1031 S Broadway is a 1925 Walker and Eisen effort. Also in the shot is Noerenberg & Johnson's 1920 1062 S Broadway (left) and Julia Morgan's 1914 Herald Examiner Building (center distance): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X...1%252520PM.jpg gsv |

A wee bit of 'tis the seasoning for everyone—the Christmas tree hauled into Edison's General Office doorway on Fifth (which remains as the sole piece of the famous retaining wall).

Note of course the Architect's Bldg and the Monarch in the bg. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/777/2...ce66f72e_b.jpghuntington Took some serious scaffolding for these ladies to scale: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/605/2...c517b681_c.jpghuntington You think they'd wear trousers. No shortage of holiday perverts lurking beneath! I don't believe this to be the same tree (and the negative is undated) but had to include it because it's in color and I'm in awe of the stupefying use of tinsel. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5686/...bda4506b_o.pnghuntington God bless us, everyone! |
And yet another in the series of LA random car-on-house accidents:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C...2%252520AM.jpg lapl LAPL caption: "Photograph caption dated August 6, 1986 reads, "John Graham Wallace III surveys the damage caused by a car that jumped the curb on the 1100 block of Roscomare Road and plowed into his house at 6:50 a.m. yesterday. Police said Aram Homampour, 18, was distraught over a breakup with this girlfriend and accidentally crashed the car into the Bel-Air home. Homampour received a broken wrist and numerous bruises." ___ P.S. Great angle on the old Bunker Hill Steps Beaudry :-) Quote:
It's not their problem anyway. How about the perverts wear blindfolds? |
