:previous: -very interesting oldstuff. -by coincidence, I was going to do an Emil Aarup post all well. -but I had no idea he lived in that house on the corner.

Here's a fun slide from the 1960s of the iconic 'Tail O' the Pup'.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...633/0P8UQX.jpg ebay I remember the Tail O' the Pup being located on the northwest corner of Beverly Blvd. & La Cienega. I'm not sure where it was parked in the 1960s. The seller also included this slide of a Pinocchio's which I've never heard of before. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...631/2AdWtM.jpg ebay It has the same shape as the Tail O' the Pup, except they painted the wiener into a nose and added a face. :) I just noticed the street sign....does it say Lincoln Blvd.? __ |
The third slide, also from the 1960s, was one of those giant barrels left over from the 1930s or 40s.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...674/ShYVI9.jpg ebay The seller says this reincarnated barrel was on Ventura Blvd. __ |
LA Tail o' the Pup...

Back in 1972 I worked about a block from the site of the Pup. I even stopped by once and bought a dog with onions and pickles. The place had a grungy corn-ball atmosphere about it....fun nevertheless. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps3d738e0a.jpg wiki pup page |

Here's a photograph I recently found on ebay that shows the painted exterior of the 'Cafe Casino'. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/674/MZAty5.jpg It's somewhat surprising (and refreshing) to see an Herb Store. below: Here's a photograph I posted earlier in the thread. It's fun to compare the changes in the store-fronts. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/spxOCp.jpghttp://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=14981 I'm a little confused by the Rosslyn sign on the left. I thought it was an entrance to the hotel, but in the larger photo the sign is advertising denin and overalls. |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/9TPM1l.jpg ebay The photograph isn't all that exciting. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...540/L5wPrJ.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...907/JB3WPY.jpg I guess they forgot who the couple on the left was. __ |

Three views of Bunker Hill
These are photos taken from the top of City Hall. The first one we have seen before, but the other two are new.
Jan. 12, 1951: This photo shows downtown Los Angeles, looking southwest from top of City Hal. The building in the center foreground is the Los Angeles Times, with Los Angeles Mirror building directly behind it . The building with the large mast on it is the Richfield Building. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps681b6b74.jpg http://framework.latimes.com/2014/10...9-and-2014/#/1 Nov. 8, 1979: Bunker Hill after a rainstorm. The photo was taken from top of City Hall. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psb7568f95.jpg http://framework.latimes.com/2014/10...9-and-2014/#/1 Oct. 7, 2014: Bunker Hill and Los Angeles Times buildings, seen from top of City Hall. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps45299dd7.jpg http://framework.latimes.com/2014/10...9-and-2014/#/2 Los Angeles skyline 1951, 1979 and 2014 Posted By: Scott Harrison Posted On: 12:31 a.m. | October 13, 2014 "Recently I found an unpublished negative of the Los Angeles skyline taken on Nov. 8, 1979. Staff photographer Bruce Cox went to one of my favorite spots: the top of City Hall. For a current image matching Cox’s, it was back to the City Hall observation deck. Results are above. Just for comparison, I added a 1951 photo by Ellis R. Bosworth of the Associated Press. And yes, that’s the Los Angeles Times building, lower center in all three photos. My desk is on the third floor. Also of interest, the 1951 photo was shot on 4 x 5 sheet film, the 1979 photo on 35 mm film and the current photo on an iPhone." |

Although much modified, this slender little building at the northeast corner of Lincoln and Superba looks mighty familiar, primarily because of that odd little slanted roof in front. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G...lnSuperba1.jpg source: Google Street View And the neighboring building, although difficult to see, bears some similarities to the one in the "Pinocchio's" photo. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t...lnSuperba2.jpg source: Google Street View |
Guy Bryan Tire Store at Venice Boulevard and South Vermont - 1933
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps8a64fa80.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/63754/rec/2 I don't recall seeing one of these before: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...psb9e1285a.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/63754/rec/2 This is a great combination street light and street sign: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps60d55ba6.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/63754/rec/2 Close up: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps48a052d8.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/63754/rec/2 National Recovery Act had just started in 1933: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps011e66b3.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...id/63754/rec/2 I don't see any area in this large store where the tires are actually installed on the customer's vehicles. Back then, did people buy tires at one location and have them put on somewhere else? |
