Not the greatest but there is this photograph. The mansion was refitted as the Jewish Orphans Home in 1908 but burned down a year and a half later in 1910. https://i.imgur.com/diUUlGp.jpg vistadelmar.org |

http://gis.burbankca.gov/maps/City_of_Burbank_1928.pdf this is our neighborhood....looks like the trees have yet to be planted on Niagara. I live across from a long-gone natural feature (circled), a depression that I first noticed on old topos, and confirmed the existence of from my 94 year-old neighbor across the street, who complains that the plaster on her walls is cracking because they did a slipshod job of filling it in. More striped plots a couple blocks west, could they have been commercial flower fields? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ccae0e96_h.jpg |

It looks like that map in the PDF file is made up of several images from mil.library.ucsb.edu stitched together (with an area border and street names added). The PDF map shows a much wider area than the individual aerials, but I think the originals are higher resolution and therefore a little sharper. As a reminder, the full version of the aerial I posted can be found here. |

From the same eBay seller. . . .
Seller's description:...Vintage Photo 3x5 - Los Angeles Azteca Market Arden Milk Coca Cola Sign 1957 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/EtvFgm.jpg eBay There's a 2nd snapshot for this one. :) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/O87BZT.jpg eBay The street reminds of...ummm...Highland Park?

Looks like Popeye with a sailor cap with a chicken lower half. The Chicken "Enuff"(?) may mean that all they serve is chicken, because it is enough to eat (with a side of creamed spinach for Popeye). |

Bob's big boy 1965 menu and list of locations
http://https://www.worthpoint.com/wo...menu-139555078
https://www.facebook.com/driveinmenu...type=3&theater Well, this is frustrating. I was trying to post a FACEBOOK photo of a Bob's Big Boy menu from 1965 with it's list of locations. None of the "buttons" on the Edit page are working for me. Anyway, click on the above link for a bit of BBB history. The photo is part of the BRUCE B. HERMANN COLLECTION. |

Here's the menu. I just right-clicked on the Facebook image, copied the image location, and pasted it into the post using the Insert Image button. https://scontent.fdub5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...ac&oe=5E6FB51C |

Feel free to send me a PM about it - the messaging system works in an almost identical way to the forum regarding pictures, so you can practice there. |

The mascot is more recognizable on the street level sign than the one up on the cylindrical tower. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/75gVIO.jpg detail His wand looks like wand and less like a whisk broom. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/Nn3J4k.jpg I still see the Pink Panther in a top hat. :runaway: I also noticed something surprising. If you look closely, there is a cocktail sign beneath the overhang. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/xhWLSM.jpg Link. Original eBay photograph I wasn't aware that Scrivner's had a liquor license! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/4Yn2Af.jpg detail Is this a mini-cocktail lounge or did Scrivner's serve drinks to the costumers in their cars? Did all the drive-ins serve cocktails back then? |
