What have you just seen? A model of Los Angeles, built by the WPA from 1938-40, for the purposes of city planning (via which they evidently deduced “it all goes!”)…on a related note, this model was once many, many times larger. The County (whose infinite wisdom never ceases to inspire) dumpster’d the majority of it in the 70s. Incredible, just throwing it out. May someone have wanted to buy it, or take it for free? I mean, really. |

Re "Bright Eyes"--there may have been scenes actually filmed at Grand Central, but the airplane interior was a mockup with process film seen through the windows.

http://jpg1.lapl.org/00095/00095349.jpghttp://jpg1.lapl.org/00095/00095349.jpg[/QUOTE] Its just to the right of the 'S' in the watermark on here, see the building on the far side matches http://hollywoodhistoricphotos.ipowe...01948%20WM.jpg http://hollywoodhistoricphotos.ipowe...oducts_id/3094 Judging by the row of skinny buildings to the right of the large soundstages my rough guesstimate would be where the red circle is http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...pse895f9ed.jpg Google Maps |
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ps56ae9bb0.jpg
Actually looking at the vintage shot, to the right of the bridge is a sort of retaining embankment, could it be the one above, would put the bridge about where the railings are I reckon http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ps3a0f3e03.jpg Google Maps Found a shot in 1976 with it still there http://www.thestudiotour.com/fox/aerial.php You can make the picture much larger in the link |

"Opened in 1938, the only part of the old El Miro Theatre that is left is the facade. The theater was razed in the late 80’s and the newer Cineplex Broadway 4 Theatre is located on that site now." This part of Third Street is now Third Street Promenade, so there's no Streetview image. This one was taken from Broadway. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z.../LAElMiro1.jpg GSV Here are a couple more images I found on foursquare.com. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z.../LAElMiro2.jpg Júnior/foursquare.com http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z.../LAElMiro3.jpg Stan S./foursquare.com |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lvdBridge1.jpg Historic Aerials It looks like the bridge was still there in 1980, but the area to the north had been cleared. Just to the east is the much wider Avenue of the Stars. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lvdBridge2.jpg Historic Aerials This 2004 image (converted to grayscale to match the others) is pretty similar to what you'd see today. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...lvdBridge3.jpg Historic Aerials The tower that now stands at southern end of the old bridge location (the base of which is visible at the top of Joe Gillis's aerial picture) is Fox Plaza, better known to fans of 'Die Hard' as Nakatomi Plaza. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...LAFoxPlaza.jpg wikipedia |
