100 Years Ago Today
There were those gunning for Bunker Hill way before the Community Redevelopment Agency... As I pass time in NYC during the hurricane...power still on... I discovered that the Los Angeles Times had this to say about the epicenter of noir on October 29, 1912:

At Buttercup, there was a great divide between my perception of the cost of the furniture and the reality. For example, a nice fabric-covered chair looked like $500 but had a price tag of $1,700! Everything I encountered seemed to be 2-4x as expensive as I believed. I even encountered a small $20-value throw pillow with a $119 price tag. I made no purchases. :( |
I didn't realize Eagle Rock was so HUGE until I came across this postcard with climbers on top.

I was going to search an item tonight and noticed the 'search this thread' option is missing.
http://imageshack.us/a/img341/326/aabsearchmissing.jpg __ *Nevermind, I opened a new page and it's there again. :) ...here's a cool postcard. Look down the aisle and notice the passengers on the first level.

Another view of the 'City of Los Angeles' Astra Dome, circa 1957. Ash trays on every seat back!

I took the train out here from la this aug.it was fun,the food was high but i think worth it.I wish there was another train company other than amtrak that could bring back the old way of traveling via train.

:previous: When I was in my early twenties I took the bus from L.A. To Chicago. It was the most horrendous three days of my life. There were passengers with barking dogs in their bags....there was a blind lady that groped passengers with squished hotdogs between her fingers...and there were seemingly endless stops in the middle of the night at cockroach infested cafes. To stunt the misery I took an extra dose of sleep-aids that gave me diarrhea for the last day and a half. My parents didn't recognize me when they picked me up in Illinois.

Venice, Calif., circa 1912. Hotel St. Mark and street. Sunny Venice, Calif., circa 1912. "Hotel St. Mark and street." At the Aquarium on the pier: "Seal fed daily at 2 p.m." Shorpy If this is too big, let me know and I'll squeeze it down a bit. But I love the detail. |
:previous: Great photograph MichaelRyerson!
http://imageshack.us/a/img202/2149/aabvenicek2.jpg SHORPY I especially like this 'kiosk' with Venice events. It mentions several venues that we've covered here on 'noirish Los Angeles'..most recently the Venice Aquarium. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=9997 __ |
