Two other clues: the Hebrew letters visible on the store glass window are (right to left) a Kaf and a Shin, which probably are the beginning of the word Kosher. Also visible is the name __igley's. But a quick CD search came up empty. I would vote strongly for Boyle Heights, though. |

https://i.imgur.com/xSghoxQ.jpg?1https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/l...les/index.html It inspired me to take this shot of my Caddy there. https://i.imgur.com/rvuxHEu.jpg?1 Obviously the area is far less wide open these days so I had to get creative with the framing. There are multi-story parking structures all around now. You can see the space age street light seen in the first shot through the vent window in my photo. |

It's not a super premium ice cream, but it's a taste of childhood. |

Wow that's a great first person account! Always love hearing people's stories of how it was back in the day here in LA! And the building is still standing, even after defrosting it! |

Kind of looks like it says "17 oz"? Looks like the bottom of address numbers above the Snider's sign. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/gJOUgn.png |
Re: __igley's.
Wrigley's gum used "After Every Meal" as a slogan in the 20s, so it looks like just an advertising sign. Do we know the name of the gentleman in the photo? If we can find out where he lived maybe that will offer a clue. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a6590a4a_z.jpg Bridgeport Telegram 5/12/24 Quote:

Great shot--except for the radials, you'd never know it wasn't the fall of 1962.... https://i.postimg.cc/vHYsTNVR/63cadautoshow-bmp.jpg LAT Oct 28, 1962 |

Any information on "Marketville"?
Ran across this Marketville ad in the Los Angeles Herald and Express from December 10, 1941. It is located where Cedars Sinai sits. Rendering looks like permanent buildings rather than temporary stalls. I have honestly never heard of this nor seen photos. Just curious if anyone has any information?

Thanks for this. There is strangely little mention of Marketville (and I had never heard of it)! https://i.postimg.cc/L814p1f1/Market...AT-41-5-25.jpg LA Times, 5/25/1941. https://i.postimg.cc/k5PJXgFh/Market...dustry1951.jpg From the House of Representatives' Hearings on Un-American Activities Communist Infiltration of Hollywood Motion-Picture Industry, 1951. |

Have we seen this particular horse trough here at NLA before?
It was one of many funded by that Carnegie of horse troughs, Hermon Lee Ensign. Benton Boulevard (which by the way, being modest, I had originally intended to be the name of the main drag of my subdivision on the west side of Westlake Park, with "Wilshire" intended as the only the cross street at the east side of Sunset Park...I decided to switch them...but I digress). An item in the LAT of Jan 19, 1927, reported that the trough wasn't operating at that time, which isn't, of course, surprising, given the replacement of horses for horsepower. The question is, does any Norisher know what happened to this trough? Benton Blvd, running between 6th and 7th, became the southerly extension of Lafayette Park Place in 1928. The apparent site of the trough, in the triangular southerly extension of what is now Lafayette Park, seems now to be a construction staging area. Among a number scattered around the country, an Ensign fountain still stands in Central Park in Pasadena (at Raymond and Dayton) Apparently the first in SoCal, it was dedicated in 1905. https://i.postimg.cc/htJRWsMW/horsetrough1-bmp.jpg Herald June 4, 1908 https://i.postimg.cc/8cHNcCf2/horsetrough2-bmp.jpg |

It is bizarre that a place that attracted crowds of people in a central location would have scarce evidence of its own existence?! |
