From several things that I've read, a lot of celebrities used to congregate in there on one occasion or another. (Like Montgomery Clift, for one.) You'd think someone might have photographed the front of it -- "That's where I saw so and so...!" Thanks for this post, I enjoyed all those photos. ___ I liked everyone's ruminations on that contour chair, too, heh! Now I want one. (Need one!) ___ I know this is always there, but I just happened to see it at the bottom of the page and it made me laugh: This thread has more than 10 replies. |

I can't post at all but if someone else can get into Ancestry, search the full name and then find the publication, maybe you can figure out how to save it so it will post. |
Horace Appel, Sr., Attorney

Here he is, the father of the quarter-dispensing son: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-i...15118%2BAM.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-k...20409%2BPM.jpg I don't have access to Ancestry.com, but "History of the Bench and Bar of Southern California" (1909) is a free e-book on google. HHA, Sr appears on page 125. Piece of cake. Is there a family resemblance CBD? |

:previous:
That's an end pole (notice the guy-wires). The info on the pole was probably useful to LADWP workers (as to exactly where they were on the grid etc). That's not "the Courthouse". Those pix (#2, #3, #4, #6 & #7) are City Hall :-) I'm not sure why, but this photo of Union Station conjured up a strong (and welcome) memory of the way cars' wool-flannel headliners smelled back in the day. Thank you. Quote:

Those white markings may be metal plates.

For a second there, I thought to myself, That is a big saguaro cactus next to the palm tree. Its just a street light :P

We were there to see friends off back to Albuquerque on the Amtrak Southwest Chief. Union Station is a happening place now. It was in serious decline back in the 80's I used to see it quite often as a kid in the late 70's up to the mid-80's when my grandmother used to go to the main terminal annex post office across the street.
Utility poles have numbers to quickly find them should there be a problem. Quote:

This scene is so idylic and seems so far removed from wartime. Hollywood High jalopies. I can't tell what the lead car is- some Plymouth or Dodge. The other one is a 1930 Ford (Model A) standard roadster. No top? no problem (it never rains in LA). I wonder if the two fellows dashing up the stairs are the drivers, and if they went on to fly bombers. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...hot%20rods.jpg It could be the set of an Andy Hardy film. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...20Roadster.jpg http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/a...r-jpg.2175574/ |
