Hey guys, haven't checked in here in a long time but Arnold Hylen's grand niece is running a Facebook page dedicated to Arnold here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Arnol...58678744196612
Anyway his niece is posting never before seen pictures there, including color shots of which the Cal State Library has none. So it's quite the thrill to be going through my Facebook feed and see new-old LA shots peppered throughout. Unfortunately, details on dates or locations are at a bare minimum, so you'll just have to put your detective caps on as you look at these shots! http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/4040/d2g4.jpg EDIT: this is the Herman Baer house at 221 South Olive http://imageshack.us/a/img560/5831/c2l6.jpg (^ this shot is reversed) http://imageshack.us/a/img824/5723/e717.jpg |

I've been wondering about that 260 year old alligator. I thought only trees live that long.
Here's the press release. http://imageshack.us/a/img69/8769/t0pm.jpg ebay |

A crew once left Oakland, California for Taiwan in a DC-4 loaded with 12,000 pounds of gunpowder for General Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalist Chinese Army, then ferried the airplane to Hong Kong to pick up a load of Chinese cedar chests and fly them west to Rome, Italy. Within hours of the delivery of the cedar chests, the airplane departed full of Italian seamen bound for New York to rendezvous with an ocean freighter. Cheers, Jack |
