Comparis was the Italian restaurant at 8600 S Sepulveda. No pics found of the corner in that incarnation either.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5...2520PM.bmp.jpg An example of internet clutter... how long has Ihop been on that corner? |
Looks like travertine marble

The Home Savings buildings, the Scottish Rite Temple and related projects with integrated monumental sculptures sure had an impact on the look of mid-century LA. I'd still like to know who the one above is supposed to be. But Sheets is probably best still known (by name anyway) for his well-loved 1931 painting, "Angels Flight": https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-w...124%2520PM.jpg http://collections.lacma.org/node/225837 It's pretty monumental too: 50" x 40" It's always on display. People go nuts if the museum tries to rotate it into storage. P.S. Thx e_r too for the memories of the Loyola from Cinema Treasures. It was a great house. |
More LA Noire shots, this time of the area around Court Hill:

This zoomed-in portion of a 1963 LAX aerial view shows the Westchester Business District; Lincoln and Sepulveda is the major intersection at lower left, and Manchester and Sepulveda is at upper right. I've marked with an arrow the rectangular building on the NE corner of Manchester/Sepulveda that I recall was an italian restaurant. Its address would have been 85XX, it was painted a dark red, and possibly called Tony's. It's now the site of a 12-story medical/office building (where I had a 90-minute root canal last year). http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps79b933a2.jpg LMU Digital Collections -- http://digitalcollections.lmu.edu/cd...d/1409/rec/203 As I mentioned in another post, the other downtown Westchester theater was the 1,300-seat Paradise at the SE corner of Sepulveda Blvd. and Will Rogers St. (now Westchester Parkway), which opened in 1950. I think it closed before the Loyola, but I can't say for sure. It's marked with an X in the picture above. http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps98e1e3d8.jpg LAPL -- http://jpg1.lapl.org/pics34/00036957.jpg Copy of Paradise news article @ Cinematour.com -- http://www.cinematour.com/documents/...5-paradise.pdf And the Paradise Building today: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps11a9334e.jpg California Pete on flickr -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/califor...n/photostream/ P.S. Thanks, ER, for the Quadrophenia ad. :) I wish I could say it brought back more memories of that night at the Loyola Theater, but my recollection of many events from that era was hazy to begin with and has not improved since. |

Here is a clear view of the walkway. I'm not sure if this is the east or west building.

Check out the 1903 Pasadena Sanborn Map on Historic Map Works. See plate 28 showing a simplified first floor plan. The use for the rounded corner is not specifically identified but adjacent is a labeled “helps dining room B” as in “The Help” If you go to below site and scroll down about 1/3 you will find a portion of a Sanborn Map (photo 29) showing a Santa Fe station. This is Pasadena and to the left is the southern half of the eastern Hotel Green Building. Scroll down two more photos to 31 and you come across a marvelous photo showing that same Santa Fe station and that same half of the Green, AND the northern half of the hotel near completion. Check out the next photo for a view of the RR station. Also check photos 34, 35, 37 and 42 for more green. And in it's early days it was the Hotel Webster. http://socalarchhistory.blogspot.com...architect.html |

Thought I was the only one who immediately said "Dick van Dyke!" when I saw the cascade of walnuts in the clipping. If I recall, it was Danny Thomas who played "Twilo", the man in the giant walnut, yes? |
yes it was Danny Thomas nostalgie!
If I remember correctly, "Twylo" was from outerspace and he had eyes in the back of his head (but no thumbs!) The episode sounds awful but it really works...it's both scary and fun. http://imageshack.us/a/img547/538/aabitmay.jpg http://the-haunted-closet.blogspot.c...1_archive.html __ |
