Thank you Hoss!
The 1928 aerial is great. That's exactly where I thought the girls hiked. That said, I couldn't help but notice something else in your 1928 aerial. I circled what appears to be a bridge, but on one end there is something quite tall that is creating a long shadow. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/YF7PMr.jpg ORIGINALLY POSTED BY HOSSC Do you know what that is Hoss? __ |
'mystery' location from old file.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/7dabKO.jpg originally from ebay I can't decide if that's a rat or pig or something inbetween. :shrug: _ |

The photo below was taken in March or April 1971, so a little pre-pig, but I believe this shows where the mystery photo was taken. La Cienega is on the right, with north at the top: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...1.jpg~original Flight TG_2755, Frame 16-15 at UCSB If I'm correct, the radio tower and the building behind it that we see in the mystery photo are also in this more recent aerial view looking west: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...2.jpg~original |

The site where the old KLOS studio stood was cleared last year - https://i.imgur.com/044SVtN.jpg GSV |
Thanks for the location of the Pink Floyd Rat Pig / KLOS snapshot Flyingwedge. I was way off the mark. I thought it was somewhere near the Hollywood Freeway.
The cleared KLOS site is intended for this huge-ass project. You can read about it HERE https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/BaB8pJ.jpg la.curbed I find it interesting that the two radio towers are still in place :previous: Do you think they're going to be functional (do companies rent them?)...or left standing as a homage to the old radio station https://imageshack.com/a/img923/888/CXSW4N.gif wouldn't a much shorter tower on the roof the tall building....oh.... n e v e r m i n d. __ Here's the KLOS site pre-bulldozers (2014) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/4MZLf7.jpg google_earth |

ETA: That's right next to the La Cienega Expo line station, there's a big push to build higher density near transit. |
You mean I blabbed on and on about the radio towers for nothing.

I know in some places there are rules such as this for billboards or signs. For instance, in Ukiah, CA when In-N-Out built a new location, they repurposed the existing tall sign from the business that once stood there, because a new sign would not be allowed to stand as tall. The entire rest of the property was cleared for new construction. Several years ago the Tropicana Hotel & casino here in Las Vegas completely remodeled their large signs on Tropicana Ave. and Las Vegas Blvd., and I think there might have been similar rules, or perhaps just costs. As I drove to work each day I watched, over a period of weeks, as they systematically de-constructed the signs down to only two large metal poles, and then built entirely new signs upon those. |

I thought they mistakenly rented a rat. (and tried to make it look like a pig) ________ I just read the Pink Floyd Pig in 1994 was a Warthog-Pig. Now I'm pretty sure the pig at KLOS was the Warthog-Pig. (it even has tusk-like teeth) So Noir's date of "anytime after 1987" seems about right. Quote:

and while we're on the subject of Pink Floyd....
Has anyone seen the Wizard of OZ with the soundtrack to Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon? I did once at an auditorium here at Purdue. They showed the whole damn movie. (I thought it was going to be shorter) Dark Side of the Rainbow |
ER
I did, I did! |
You saw it? What did you think ot it Kitty Kat?
'mystery' location. "Victory girl, heading to work." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/uEVou1.jpg pinterest (if you click on the link you never find the true source There aren't too many clues, location wise, but this definitely looks like L.A. to me. I imagine her working at Lockheed in Burbank or the Douglas Aircraft Factory in Santa Monica or Long Beach. _ |
Ethereal, I, too, thought it was too long--but, of course, the music was fantastic.
I saw it screened on the wall of a building in downtown Los Angeles. I don't think that they do that anymore at that location. It was called the Devil's Night Drive-In and it was on Fourth Street. |
A humble request
I hope you all won't mind if I request your assistance with an inquiry.
My nephew--actually the husband of my niece--is a PR man, one of whose clients is the Toronto Second City troupe. He grew up in Toronto. I mentioned to him that, back in the Seventies, Second City had a venue here in Pasadena: Fignewton's, at 3737 E. Foothill Blvd., now the site of a Chuck E. Cheese outlet. But when I searched for any evidence of its existence, all I could find was some evidence of its later existence as a disco. Now, I was too young ever to visit Fignewton's in its earlier identity, but I did drive by it a million times, when it had the prominent sign reading "Fignewton's: The Second City Revue." While the address is Foothill, the physical location was along Rosemead Boulevard. My request is for the many brilliant built-environment sleuths here: will you help point me to where I might find at least some photographic evidence of the existence of this onetime Second City outpost hereabouts? It would be of great assistance to my nephew as he seeks to promote an upcoming reunion of the classic Second City worthies. Thanks for reading this! |

I spent yesterday trying to connect the girls in the "hiking" picture with people who lived in the area at that time, so far, no luck, but I will keep trying. |

I think that the whole bridge might be an "artifact" (to borrow oldstuff's term). There's nothing there on the 1927 aerial or the 1944 image below. I've arrowed the location of the unknown 1928 object. Unfortunately, the 1934 flight hasn't yet been scanned. The bridge at the right is Avenue 52. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...moreGrove2.jpg mil.library.ucsb.edu |
