While trying to find additional information on the Brentwood Motor Co. I happened upon this matchbook for the Brentwood Motor Motel instead. (close but no cigar)

The Brentwood Motor Co sold British imports at 2610 Wilshire in Santa Monica. Those cars in your pic are a '57 Pontiac and '57 Chevrolet--they look pretty new to me.

Interesting. Somehow one doesn't picture a lifelong thief/fraudster/felon who was in & out of prison before dying at age 41, resting beneath the manicured lawns of Forest Lawn. Wonder what he was doing those last 15 years after getting busted at Casa De Cadillac? |

"Vintage Jewish Deli Menu Broadway Yiddish Los Angeles CA 1940-50s" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/nvBSAy.png eBay What's most interesting is the back with Yiddish words. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/7Uck8r.png Bris . . . .getting tipped off. :haha: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/8ll1KK.png When I first moved to L.A. I remember going to a Kosher place for their Broasted Chicken. I was so young and naive I didn't even know what kosher meant. . |

Cheeseburgers, or anything combining meat and cheese aren't kosher either. It seems L.A.'s Broadway Delicatessen was semi-kosher.

A mystery location. RADENKOVICH GROCERY STORE. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/922/5feBQl.jpg There are all kind of clues on the back of the photograph! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/HuXReF.jpg But I wasn't able to find a connection between the store and Mercury Street. For search purposes:...Milorad & Mary Radenkovich - Grandparents of Diane Sauer - Maybe 1918 or 1920 - Grandpa's Grocery Store on Mercury St. - L.A. 9032 |

Backlot or Train Trestle?...U - D - CIDE. "Me" ..July 31, 1948. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/IPGnqZ.jpg eBay So what do you think is in the background. . .a backlot or train trestle? ..Whatever it is it looks out-of-place. We know the date because it's on the back of the snapshot. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/CeCuyK.jpg Go forth, minions! :whip: . |
looks to me like the background could be a studio backlot. Fox, MGM, Paramount, RKO maybe. that's my best guess. i would guess MGM or RKO if i had to 'cause i grew up in Culver City

the street is wide with what could be a trolly or train down the middle so could be Culver blvd or Santa Monica Blvd

1926 Hill's City Map
My neighbor, who knows I'm interested in this stuff, was going through some old boxes and gave me this old L.A. map. Looking on eBay, I found other Hill's L.A. maps but didn't see any this old. Pretty fascinating.

Great find
Really cool map! I didn't know Sunset Blvd west of UCLA was called Beverly Blvd in 1926. I'm going to ask my neighbors to go through some of their old boxes too. ;)
