Here's a callback to my very first post, where I was wondering whether the Sisters of Charity school was L-shaped or rectangular.
Flyingwedge came up with a rather amazing photo of the building, with one arm of the "L" obviously removed. So here's what I was ultimately after. Below is a very famous photo, reportedly taken in 1863. The clearest version I could find was at the Huntington, which is zoomable. (My cropped version isn't good as possible) https://i.postimg.cc/SsFMZ2MB/Annotated-Water-Wheel.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vHsdQQrG/Annotated-Zoomed.jpg Huntinton Digital Library So did I correctly identify the Sisters of Charity and Poundcake Hill? I put this in a YouTube video, even though I'm not 100% sure. |

Ron Masak is a familiar name to me from TV in the 60's and 70's. (He's still working.) I looked up Love Thy Neighbor. IMDB said it started in the summer of 1973. Only 12 episodes were produced. Here's an interesting article about the show: https://jacksonupperco.com/2018/06/20/love-thy-neighbor-usa-1973/ |

I happened upon this exquisite a few weeks ago on eBay. "Taber Albumen - Residence of Mrs. Jeanne Carr, Carmelita Park, Pasadena Cal." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/WnOIEX.jpg eBay Inscription: Christmas '86 & New Years' '87. Here's a closer look for all you snoopity snoops. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/b5i58c.jpg detail But this house looks far different than the 'Tyrolian' one in an earlier post. Here ... (2nd photograph) |

We might have we seen this before...but worth repeating.

The DWP building doubles as LAPD headquarters on the TV show The Rookie.
|
I never knew the DWP building has a heliport on the roof.:shrug:
|
And I never knew one to be referred to as a helistop. :shrug:

Here's where they unloaded the Lamborghini from a cargo ship in the opening shot of Rain Man. (or at least as close as I could get in Google Street View.) At 1:40, you can see the Vincent Thomas Bridge. Hint: Land Ho! |

It's fairly difficult to post images on this site until you get the hang of things. :( Keep tryin' The Landscape.
If you have any questions just ask. :) . |

Yes, my memory is shot. Here's an interesting snapshot just listed on eBay. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/FLWfmX.jpg As you can see it shows a woman (tourist?) posing with a burro in front of the Temple Cafe. Let's take a closer look. .....................- - - > per the sign on the right the cafe serves Steaks, Chops & Beer. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/zumxUt.jpg The burro appears to have an exclamation point above its head ! I am almost certain we have discussed the Temple Cafe on NLA but I don't recall the address. When I went to look it up I only received two hits in the LA directories. This one. (1973) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/BFFvEB.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/BKKjjj.jpg lapl The owner must have been religious. . . or a Steinbeck fan. The other hit is just wrong. It combined two dif. lines (Sun Cafe . .not Temple Cafe) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/S7qtwm.jpg lapl This 2nd photo is included with the Temple Cafe photo. (note the 'coliseum' border) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Ef8COJ.jpg eBay The tower in the background sure looks like a mosque. I decided to go ahead and post this 3rd photograph as well. (same listing) Another woman with a burro. This times there's a cart involved. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/iOJzbm.jpg eBay Does anyone recognize the building in this background? There are more interesting photographs in this grouping. Check them out at this Link . |
