Silver tips are a true high elevation fir mostly growing at 6000 -8000 ft . Unlike other species that planted in straight rows, the Red Fir are mostly harvested from natural stands.This generally provides the advantage over lower elevation trees of keeping ability. Since the trees are dormant when they are cut, they tend to hold up longer and better than others, and can be harvested earlier in the Season. The Silver Tip Christmas tree is native to the high elevations in California. It has long been a favorite for those that like an open growth pattern. The “Silver Tip” refers to the color and placement of the needles. The blue-green color on the tips of the branches is a different color then the interior green of the tree giving the appearance of the silver tipped branch. It has excellent keep ability, and very stiff branched to hold the heaviest of ornaments. If you can find such a tree during the holiday time, count on about $11.00 per foot. They grow in North Fork, CA and are now shipped by truck to LA. |

This is pretty much the same angle that Mr. Hill took the pic: https://i.postimg.cc/50VtSdYH/ER-Mys...0181025-03.jpgGoogle Street View They've converted the balcony above the garage to a finished room and supersized it! But I was not convinced that this was indeed the house, so let's head down Rhonda Vista a few more feet... https://i.postimg.cc/HsRdtDFp/ER-Mys...0181025-02.jpgGoogle Street View Since the trees were blocking the right hand portion of Mr. Hill's original view, I took the GoogleMobile down the street past the trees. You can see the double garage at an angle to the street, the flat roofed white building and the mountains in the background(you can also see some high rises in Glendale in Mr. Hill's shot). Still not convinced? You drive a hard bargain friend. Here's the aerial view of the house from 1979. https://i.postimg.cc/NjqZMgWr/ER-Mys...0181025-01.jpgvia Frame Finder ETA: One thing that did bother me with this ID was the street light's shadow in Mr. Hill's photo, I don't think the current street light is far enough from the wall of the angled garage to produce that shadow. My theory is that when they built the green-grey monstrosity(it's picture is in the dictionary for the definition of fugly) they moved the street light for the new driveway. |
It took me awhile to confirm...but you are CORRECT BillinGlendaleCA. :worship:
The garage across the street has been extended by the same amount as the garage in Mr. Hill's 1979 photo. (as shown below) 1979 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/lgONdC.jpg detail and today (I had to use the opposite side of the garage / the other side is now hidden by a bush) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/tA4HeL.jpg GSV See _ |
Now let's back up the google-mobile and take a look at the 'monstrosity' that Bill mentioned.
Quote:
Bill wasn't joking. It's sheer height ruins the sense of scale along the street. And look at all the ungainly utility wires tethered to it! (after looking more closely / half of the wires are for the neighbors) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/eDO96P.jpg I don't understand how they were allowed to built it so tall? It blocks the view of the house -on the corner- across the street. The one in Mr. Hill's photograph. I would be so pissed. :hell: __ |

Not GPS like precise locationing ... more narrowing it down somewhat. :) "The Fruit Basket - a stand that stood for 45 years on Venice Boulevard near La Brea Avenue." Weird California |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...uitBasket1.jpg It's just background detail in this 1931 Dick Whittington shot of Venice Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. There are three images in the set, but the second only shows a small slice of the building at the edge and the third is looking the other way. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...uitBasket2.jpg Look above the car in the center and you can just see the Hollywoodland sign (top-right, below). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...uitBasket3.jpg All from USC Digital Library |

The video was taken while I was working behind the medical center on McCadden and Hollywood. The med center had Diamond Jim's restaraunt on the corner. At 7:44 on the video counter is an open space and if I remember it was a Victorian type house set back from the street. I always was amazed that it had not been torn down and a building put there. Thanks for finding the video , nice to see Collectors Book Shop and Pickwick Books again. |

Extreme Close-Up https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/2Hqfi4.jpg There is also a larger light, similar to desk lamp, aimed upward toward the handle. :previous: (no doubt there's another light, like this larger one, on the opposite side) Now let's back up just a bit so you can get your bearings. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/iUShxq.jpg DETAIL Thanks for your HELP everyone! __after I cracked that whip...my minions delivered. |

Here's an accident photograph from ebay. (have we seen this before?) if so, sorry. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/sj06U1.jpg no longer listed / thus no link Here's a closer look at the area in the upper left corner. Note the large building, atop the hill, in the far distance. (a school maybe? mansion?) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/oI5Tf2.jpg DETAIL Does this area look familiar with anyone? There are a couple clues on the back. A man's name (perhaps the photographer) Al Michael(?)m https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/SW4cGL.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...921/3k3pVB.jpg and this stamp. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/1nBCX5.jpg for search purposes: Please Credit ART STREIB 955 South Hope St. Los Angeles - MIchigan 2338. ? 6372 - 4 _ |
