Shopping for goat glands (who isn't?) and wondered whether Wilshire's Ionaco wouldn't be more effective, if not less invasive. I have seen it before, but maybe not on NLA. Quote:

To me all of FG's work is like abstract art.... its 1% inspiration and 99% explanation. But in this case its like explaining the raving of an inmate in Bedlam.[an institution for the care of mentally ill people.] Gehry = A c i d ~ t r i p ~architecture,,, |

_____________________________________________________________ AS I AM WONT TO DO, I FOUND SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SERGEANT WILLIAM W. GLENN It appears he had marital woes around 1908. but this is more interesting: In 1919 a so-called 'Purity Squad', under the direction of Sergeant William Hackett, tried to drum William W. Glenn out of the police force. (possibly setting him up with a prostitiute) Also in 1919, Hackett's 'Purity Squad" might have 'framed' Sergeant L.L. McClary with a prostitute as well. What's up with this Hackett dude? William Hackett of the 'Purity Squad' is arrested for Vice Ah, so now we know. He was on the take! _____________ If something is named 'Purity Squad', nine times outta' ten it will be WORSE than what they're trying to 'purify'. |
Could this be a never-before-seen photograph of L.A.'s Chinatown?

I did have a TV maybe five years back, but once I realized that I hadn’t even turned it on it about three years (other than to watch DVDs), I got rid of it (and cancelled my VERY expensive cable TV). 99% of what I want to see I can find online. I have Amazon Prime streaming video, Netflix, there’s YouTube of course, I watch DVDs on my computer, and sometimes I rent movies from iTunes. It’s very rare that I regret not owning a TV, but this is one of those times! |

Now this is an FG I can enjoy But hmmmm all the rest I see here are , pardon, excrescent. I've looked up close and personal at the Disny, but not inside. I have been inside the Concert Hall and Opera House in Sydney, walked up close etc, photo'd the exterior from near and far. My conclusions were that the interpreters of the original- Ove Arup etc failed miserably when they concocted the base of hmm the one on the left as viewed from the harbor. But The magnificence of that olt rest-of-it transend the blunder. Appreciation of FG's work, as of 'modren art' requires contracting the 'Emperor's New Clothes Syndrome' MA where's his pants and WHAT IS THAT? All that said I would like to see some of the saner, playful enjoyable works, like Prague regards ED |
I found this snippet interesting, from a Los Angeles Times article of December 4, 1891, in which the writer was reminiscing about pre-boom Los Angeles; this bit is from the portion about 1882:

Is this a location match (decades later)? There's plenty of differences, but the slightly mismatched rooflines at center made me think it's a possibility.

'mystery' location, downtown Los Angeles.
"Los Angeles street scene 1960s slide" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/n7cmIT.jpg EBAY First of all, we can narrow the date down to 1969 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/gjj7Bk.jpg detail because that's the year Portnoy's Complaint was released. but I'm confused by the leaflettes that are for sale hanging in the doorway on the right. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/tkYQaS.jpg At first I thought they might be movie scripts. Does anyone know what the heck are they? Oh, and the yellowish awning at the very top of the slide says 'Charcoal Broiled Burgers' And as you can see (in the complete slide at the top)...the building the young man is walking past has a basement that extends beneath the sidewalk. (embedded glass squares) The buildings in the distance are out of focus...so they won't be much help in determining the location. _ |
So what the heck are they?
