Pretty sure the sign says "Tom's Drive In" Cheers, Earl |

In regards to the previous post about Marilyn's grave site.
Hefner has the tomb to the left of MM. The discoloration on her tomb is from the constant cleaning off of lipstick kisses. |

Also, in the bathroom, which was also the janitor's room, was this massive, bulbous urinal. One day, a plumber came in to fish my contact lens out of the sink drain and told me that it was a design that was intended to serve both males and females. I sure wish I had taken that box of pen nibs. To link this to the thread theme: This intersection is also the location of the seedy office building where Canino poisons Harry Jones in The Big Sleep. |

I don't see four stories buildings at this intersection. Two stories maximum. Was Raymond Chandler once again not checking the likelihood of his locations ? |

Yeah, and Raymond Chandler had the nerve to call the star of The Blue Dahlia Miss Moronica Lake... ___ (I also like the Route 66 marker in that photo...indicating Santa Monica Blvd.) |

Thanks, Flyingwedge, I never heard about that exhibition before! You never know when one of the NLA unsolved mysteries will become solved. I don't believe that had been determined until now. (And that post was five years ago!) Quote:
I was hoping Joe Roig would've been there. :) |

I was wondering when they updated the sign from this...................................................................................to this https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/wNUrqs.jpghttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/JFun5Z.jpg YELP It was sometime before 2007 oops, not necessarily Go HERE and move the 2007 google-car one step forward. The sign goes from old to new. < Wrong again! I swear I saw the sign change. *takes another sip of beer* |

The "Fallon Paints" building was demolished not long ago, and the ground beneath it excavated. Construction has already begun on a new building. Back in April I posted a couple of photos taken one Sunday during the demolition phase. Tomorrow I may go take some photos of what that corner looks like now. |
:previos: Excellent job Handsome Stranger.
People lined up to see ALIEN at the Egyptian Theater, 1979. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/Stbf6W.jpg DARIO WITER saved to Vintage L.A. At first glance it looks like the old Pig n' Whistle is wearing a fake moustache. (in my demented imagination) What, pray-tell, is written on the tall blue sign? (above the old 'Pig n' Whistle) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/PrqSDA.jpg DETAIL It looks like London, Witches(?) and then...Ponies? Also note the Pioneer Pigeon on the corner. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/2sdB7c.jpg DETAIL The lime-green sign appears to say..Jambl's(?) or Jamgl's(?) (I don't see an e) __ |
Now, let's go even further back in time.....to 1966.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/uoFH4K.jpg FINLAY BELCHER It looks like there's going to be a premiere. (note the people in bleachers) The movie playing is How To Steal A Million [1966] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/lW7b4R.jpg IMDB One last thing: What's up with this sign to the left of the theater? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/UPowfN.png DETAIL I thought it was some sort of 'modern' design at first...now I just think the plexiglass fell off. Does anyone remember what store this was in the late 1970s? __ |
