I don't have any answers (yet), but here's a little more info. Nancy's and Mimi's are listed at 6340 and 6366 Hollywood Boulevard respectively in the 1942 CD (they appear as Nancy's Dress Shop and Mimi's Dress Shop). 6340 is immediately east of Ivar Avenue. Meanwhile, in the 1938 CD (the nearest after the 1937 screengrab below), 6366 Hollywood Boulevard was home to a women's clothing store called Betty Blanc & Co. Also in the 1938 CD, 6340 Hollywood Boulevard was the address of I Magnin & Co. The Hollywood Citizen Stationery Store in the screengrab below is right where we'd expect it at 6362 Hollywood Boulevard. They managed to get the phone number Hollywood 1234. That doesn't explain how Nancy's shows up in a 1937 movie in a location where it won't be listed until about 20 years later. Quote:

I thought the 'circular/triangular detail' was made of slats for ventilating the attic. (but like you said, there isn't one on the other side, so maybe not) posted earlier by HossC http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/3mD1MZ.jpg Is that a person leaning out the window? __ |

I agree. I think it's just a row of pot plants with the largest on the right. I may be wrong, but the window appears to be closed. ------------- I managed to find a picture of Nancy's at the 6340 Hollywood address. LAPL don't date this image, but waterandpower.org have decided that it's circa 1940. On the right, the store that had been/would become (?) Nancy's is called Dinel's. I couldn't find it in the CDs, but the window display suggests that it also sold women's clothes. The picture also shows Thrifty, the Hollywood Beauty College, Schwabs, Western Union and the Hollywood Citizen Stationery Store. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...adiesWear2.jpg LAPL |

Two LARY street-cars in front of the Kennedy Name Plate Co. at 4509 Pacific Blvd. in Vernon. (looks like one is off the tracks)
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...537/4Zcyyv.jpg ebay The Kennedy Name Plate Co. is still in business and at the same location! Here's an earlier post showing black and white 'before and after' photographs of the Kennedy Name Plate Co. and street-cars. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=20836 __ |

The facts behind the anonymous faces.

The couple above were married in 1911. Guy F. Morley was born in 1892 in Oregon, and died in 1962 in San Bernardino. Anne E. McCorkell was born in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, on December 8, 1893, and died on May 4, 1982 in Los Angeles. Both are buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery. http://imageshack.com/a/img912/8600/63utdR.jpg Their older son, Herbert Guy Morley, was born February 11, 1914 and died on August 7, 1984. He turned into a nice looking fellow. http://imageshack.com/a/img538/7589/TxzNg1.jpg Their younger son, Franklyn James Morley, was born on August 3, 1915, and died on April 23, 1992. Ethereal_reality's photo above was more likely from around 1920-21. Boy, young Franklyn doesn't look too happy, does he? |
:previous: That is amazing Albany.
I'm really impressed you found a photograph of Guy and Anne's final resting place. (and the studio portrait of Herbert) And yes, Franklyn was not a happy camper in that family snapshot. __ |
A rare 1910 RPPC on ebay.

I guess they weren't too impressed. __ |
I just found this a few minutes ago on ebay. -It's somewhat of a strange looking make & model.

As for the other building, I love it too and it's definitely the most unique of the bunch. I wonder who the architect was? It's probably wishful thinking but the ornate plaster detailing makes me want to believe that it's a Morgan, Walls, & Clements like the Chapman Market. https://www.laconservancy.org/sites/...?itok=dcIjqaZ2LA Conservancy Like I said, probably wishful thinking. :shrug: |

Demolition Permit Issued for Norms La Cienega
I realize this is not a bit noirish, but it is a matter of great importance to the denizens of this thread nonetheless.
A demolition permit has been issued for the neato Googie-esque Norms Restaurant location on La Cienega. Here are the details, from the LA Conservancy site: https://www.laconservancy.org/issues...ga-coffee-shop The family that owned Norms recently sold it. They took pains to sell to someone who would "keep the faith," but it seems to me that immediately to seek to tear down their most iconic location does not bode well. |

I could be way off base, but I'm getting a very strong West L.A. feel here. No, I can't identify any of the buildings, but I lived at the corner of Barrington and Ohio Avenues for over a dozen years. Before that I went to HS in the same neighborhood, although much longer ago, and I feel like I remember some of the buildings, which would have since been remodeled or replaced beyond recognition. Sorry I can't do any better. |
And here we have the death of the middle class in the great cities of America. This house was undoubtedly much, much too tiny for the sort of people who can afford Cheviot Hills property today.
