Last week I came across this pristine image of the Public Relations Department at Rexall Headquarters, 1950s. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/E7WJvw.jpg ebay Did you ever visit this department when you worked for the company CityBoyDoug? __ I wondered about Dark Canyon Road Martin_Pal. What a great noirish name. |

'Update' on the Plaza
I wanted to bring this photo forward to show how well the 1888-1892 (?) Plaza design did over time. There's plenty of benches now and the fountain has gained a central sculpture, but who it is of, I don't know. The encircling brick wall is in place now too.
The Federal Courthouse is nearing completion, dwarfing the Baker Block. Actually the courthouse was finished twice. After completion, funding finally came through from DC for the top two floors and penthouse, so they were added. It opened in 1940. When the new Federal Courthouse is finally completed, the 75-year-old "unsafe" one will come down. Does that mean we will get the Downey Block back? JK https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-j...72123%2BPM.jpg usc / previously post by sopas ej And one last look back at the 1871 design for the Plaza, with its elevated fountain and raggedy turf. This was quite early days, before it got so overgrown: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f...15154%2BPM.jpg water and power |

I always went to some office on the second floor that was for company employees. In that office they took care of things like your employment records, compensation and health insurance. I worked for Rexall for a year at one of their subsidiary companies. I may have visited the main office two or three times. [It was actually DART Industries at that time. DART had bought out the old Rexall company.] But I did visit the big Rexall drug store in the same building many times during my lunch hour. Sometimes I saw movie and TV stars buying various things. One I remember was a very tall Robert Young. He did not leave a very pleasant public impression as he was basically loud and obnoxious. At least he was the day I observed him at Rexall. He had that...'' I'm a big star'' attitude. This is where I had a dog one day at lunchtime. Nothing special...very ordinary. Notice the old school chairs at the lower right. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psdvh1stuq.jpg LAHistory blog |

"When the new Federal Courthouse is finally completed, the 75-year-old "unsafe" one will come down. Does that mean we will get the Downey Block back? JK"
I understand the confusion now HossC. The "75-year-old 'unsafe' one" in the above sentence refers to the current Federal Courthouse (hence the reference to the Downey Block). By the "new Federal Courthouse" (that's a clickable link), I meant the one they're building now. The Superior Court was in the bungalows I didn't mean to be confusing. My apologies. On occasion I'm lost in time and space. |
I came across this earlier this evening.
