I've been meaning to say this for months now, but better late than never.
This thread is absolutely amazing, and I have spent many, many hours enjoying it. Thanks so much to all that contribute. |
Welcome, friend.

BTW, I like your avatar, we may be "brothers." |
^Thanks so much, Albany NY!
Sadly, I don't visit this thread every day, but I should. I find it absolutely fascinating, and I have a very deep love affair with Los Angeles. I don't get there as often as I would like to, but am fortunate to visit several times a year as my favorite couple in the world live there and I work virtually for a SoCal firm. And we probably are brothers if you like and "get" my avatar! ;) |
I am back from my mini-vacation. :)
Excellent photographs of the Playa Del Rey area BifRayRock. |
Can anyone tell me what we're looking at here? At first I thought it was the same building in BRR's post.

ebay I LOVE Judy Holliday. I never knew Josephine Hull won an Academy Award. Not a big fan of Jose Ferrer. George Saunders ended up killing himself (and his wife, if I remember correctly) -noir __ |

Isn't that the same house in the background of this picture from BRR's post? Undated, but probably late '30s e.g., '37 http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics06/00022981.jpghttp://jpg3.lapl.org/pics06/00022981.jpg |

Many communities have their own "Dogtown." E.g., St. Louis. Santa Monica, especially near Ocean Park, is occasionally given the moniker, "Dogtown." Yes, skateboarders hail from the area (bottom), but is there a definitive reason for/origin of the nickname as used in SM?
