OK, at the NLA Pot Luck and Sock Hop, we can have a rhubarb theme: e_r's salsa, and I can bring my Rhubarb Butter Crunch (like Apple Crisp, only . . . rhubarb). "Tart and sweet"--exactly right, for anyone who hasn't tried it. Stater Bros. markets carried it for about a month recently (maybe because I asked for it two months ago). |

odinthor, I have the perfect movie to screen at the NLA potluck. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/UPi55Z.jpg http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelec...3&threadid=500 |
'mystery' location.
This 1966 slide may (or may not) be of Los Angeles. (but it looks like Los Angeles to me) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/HUpxzU.jpg Here's the link to the slide on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Kodachr...wAAOSwHsRYDp-t __ |
'mystery' location #2
Does anyone know where Las Colinas Heights was located? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/Fa2DPW.jpg eBay / from several months ago Note the interesting structure to the right of the billboard (it almost looks like they're building an inground swimming pool) -but I'm sure it's entirely something else. -there are still cows grazing! __ Going to Illinois, see ya' all tomorrow. Have fun noirishers! |
OK, one more 'mystery' before I go.
The Peck-Judah Company, Free Information Bureau, Los Angeles http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/HQYcve.png eBay If it's a free information bureau, how'd they make money? And more importantly, where was it located- __ That should keep you busy. ;) |
:previous:
Judging by the postcard, I'd say it's somewhere on S Spring Street, but the company moved around a bit. In the early CDs, the Peck-Judah Co is listed under "Information Bureaus" (I'm sure they meant "Information Bureaux"!), while later ones put them under "Tourist Agents". Here's the locations I found: 1906 222 S Spring Street 1908-1911 553 S Spring Street 1912-1921 623 S Spring Street 1922-1928 732 S Spring Street 1929-1934 749 S Hill Street 1934 6758 Hollywood Boulevard 1936 637 S Grand Avenue 1938-1942 409 W 5th Street 1956/1960 614 Olive Street (as Peck-Judah Travel Service) |

Edit: Aw, heck--HossC beat me while I was diddling around with the wording! Anyway, e_r, likely they made money charging the "hotels and resorts" for the privilege of listing themselves in the bureau's "famous picture gallery." |

Edit: The same paper, April 25, 1982, says, "Hollywood Heritage will sponsor a tour of Las Colinas Heights May 9, starting at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. from the Hollywood Women's Club, 1749 La Brea. The tour will include an area of mansions overlooking Hollywood and a visit to Wattles Gardens. [...]." I wonder if C.E. Toberman was related to Mayor Toberman?--who (the latter) was "the last resident in Los Angeles to wear a silk hat daily, which he gave up only four years ago [ca. 1907]” (Los Angeles Times 4/9/1911). |
After all of e_r's mysteries earlier, I have another from Julius Shulman. This is "Job 029: Douglas Honnold, The Club (Beverly Hills, Calif.),1946".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Another shot showing the semi-circular booths. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original There was also an enclosed patio. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original The last picture shows the bar. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The title is actually given as "The Club" (in quotes), as if that should be enough to identify it. I tried Googling the club beverly hills, but only got a hotel for dogs! Does anyone know where this was? |

The wife has this growing in our backyard. I think it's rhubarb, although there is a good chance it may be some Asian variety. No telling what goes on around here. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psbbcpb26f.jpg I believe she eats the whole thing. |

[QUOTE=HossC;7637534]While looking for older pictures of BillinGlendaleCA's brick building, I found a great video (it's HD quality) in the USC Digital Library. The title is "R/W 4430 Union Station Ground Shots, 1935-1937". It's like an 80-year-old Googlemobile as the camera travels down Macy Street and pans around periodically giving 180 degree views. The film starts just across the street from the Kerckhoff-Cuzner Lumber Mill.
...and the brick building next door. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...reetVideo5.jpg Behind the fence and all the junk, the building still looks pretty complete. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psppxreqsh.jpg |
OK Gaylord, I'll "Get off your lawn"
See Ya! |

Swiss chard is more interesting than iceberg lettuce, but still boring...especially here. |

In the distance you can see one of the first iterations of the Santa Monica Pier.
