[QUOTE=GaylordWilshire;8339984]Some Perry Mason establishing shots...some familiar, some seen on NLA before, a few mysteries....
A couple of mysteries...anyone? https://i.postimg.cc/PxggpmDD/pmmyst...destar.bmp.jpg Was called The Lodestar Apartments in the show This is Building 86 on the 20th Century Fox Studio lot. The building is still extant on the lot. It is located on the north side near the parking structure. Jerry |

According to urbanize.la, the old Los Angeles Railway building at 1060 S Broadway, which was completed in 1925, is being turned into the newest location of the hip Hoxton hotel chain. There seems to be a 1062, 1064 and 1068, so I'm not exactly sure which unit housed the print shop. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...AKeystone3.jpg GSV I also found Blake, Moffitt & Towne's warehouse at 242 S Los Angeles Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...fittTowne1.jpg It's in the background of this 1910 panorama. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...fittTowne2.jpg USC Digital Library |
Ralphs building
The historic Ralphs building in the Westwood area of Los Angeles. Built in 1929, it's located on the corner of Westwood and Lindbrook. The store is Los Angeles City Historic-Cultural Landmark #360 and is registered with the National Register of Historic Places. Currently the building houses a Mann movie theater, and various food places (Peet's, Ben & Jerry's, Daphne's Greek Cafe).

Thanks corriganvilleand Hoss for finding that--the odd streetlamp made me wonder if it wasn't on a backlot somewhere. Only a few episodes after Building 86 was seen as the Lodestar Apartments, its entrance made a cameo as the Ogden Apartments: https://i.postimg.cc/jddGFssJ/pmlode...enapts.bmp.jpg Then there were the "Dorman Apartments"...perhaps another studio building? https://i.postimg.cc/wTn3q44F/pmdorman1.bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YSzSxrry/pmdoormandoor.bmp.jpg |
Photo Hunt
Here's a challenge for members with better photo resources than mine. The following establishments are clear in my memory, but I have been unable to find images of them:
Klinke's Meats on Highland, between Franklin and Hollywood. The Outlet Store on Hollywood Blvd, near Las Palmas The hardware store, just south of Boardner's on Cherokee. Louis the Greek's sandwich and soda fountain in the Pantages Bldg. The dairy farm on Hollywood Way, between Glenoaks and Victory. The mom & pop farmer's market next to Villa Cabrini on Glenoaks Miller's Market, on the Playboy Liquor site on Yucca Street Larson's Book shop near the Falcon Studios on Hollywood Blvd's east end. Good luck and thank you! |
:previous: I tried to find Klinke's Meat but hurriedly typed Kinky meat into google image search. :psycho: Gazooks!
'mystery' location I happened upon this intrguing photograph earlier this afternoon. The only information I have is that the location is somewhere in the San Fernando Valley. Found HERE https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/YviV1A.jpg Does anyone recognize this place? Is it the Lockheed plant? I wonder what's up with all the kleig lights...grand opening? __ |
:previous:
I see the Chevrolet bow tie...so I guess it's Van Nuys plant. Apparently it opened in 1947...the cars in your image look about right for that, if this is the opening. A few images... https://i.postimg.cc/4dL9RrLP/chevyvannuys1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/2y1Bk2gD/chevyvannuys2color.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cJdggsPT/chevyvannuysaerial.jpg |
Where?
Oh, wait. I see it now. :duh |
Does anyone here know how to figure this out? Maybe there is a website that can do it for me?
- - - - - - - I have an old photo. On the wall in the photo, there is a calendar page similar to the one below, without a year on it: https://i.imgur.com/J0pLZtg.gif I'm trying to figure out what YEAR the photo was taken. Are there any websites that can tell you, for example, every year that August 1st fell on a Monday? Or every year that February 1st fell on Thursday? (etc, etc) Any suggestions are appreciated! :) PS: I tried Googling for a solution, but didn't come up with anything that really helped. |
What you're looking for is a "perpetual calendar." For example on this site.
Looks like the photo you have is from 1904, 10, 21, 27, 32, 38, 55, 60, or '66 if I'm reading the thing correctly. |

Here is the calendar in question: https://i.imgur.com/1ZvNbwp.jpg ... and here is the undated photo it which it appears: https://i.imgur.com/qeQzTtd.jpg The woman is my mother, on the job as a newspaper reporter. The man is actor Lock Martin, best remembered for playing the robot Gort in The Day the Earth Stood Still. https://i.imgur.com/yo9B1Bf.jpg The perpetual calendar says that September 1st fell on a Tuesday in 1942, 1953, and 1959. Due to my mother's age in the photo, these are the only years in which the photo could possibly have been taken. The photo can't be from 1942, as my mother was still in Manzanar at that point. And it can't be September of 1959, as Lock Martin died in January of 1959. Therefore, this photo was taken in September of 1953! Thanks once again for your assistance, Beaudry! :cheers: |
Hoss, thanks for the follow-up on Blake, Moffitt & Towne calendar.
It's interesting that you found another one of their calendars in the Keystone Print Shop. I've always said...if a person looks hard enough, you will find intriguing things among the minutiae in old photographs. I personally won't be happy until I solve an old murder. I aim high. ;) |
More noirish frame grabs! These are from T-Men (1947) which I viewed this past weekend. There are oodles of location shots. Some locations are obvious, others obscure.
https://i.postimg.cc/0ypkc8XX/tmen-01.jpg Steely-Voiced Omniscient Narrator: "The case started in Los Angeles, in a district just off Santa Monica Boulevard." https://i.postimg.cc/vmbQKppY/tmen-02.jpg BTW, what's the correct pronunciation of "gasometer?" On which syl-la-ble does one place em-pha-sis? https://i.postimg.cc/50tf484D/tmen-03.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/R0dMxgBc/tmen-04.jpg At about 25 minutes into the film there's an unusual montage as our hero attempts to track down a suspect named "The Schemer" who is known to hang out at steam baths. Many shots are double-exposed. https://i.postimg.cc/Y9yMhjj0/tmen-06.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rsBTNb1L/tmen-07.jpg I thought it was cool to see a bit of Brooks Oxford Baths, which we discussed not long ago. https://i.postimg.cc/NF9YTYr4/tmen-08.jpg United States Treasury agent Dennis O'Brien: "Did you ever spend ten nights in a Turkish bath looking for a man? Well, don't." https://i.postimg.cc/xjh9QkWF/tmen-09.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4NcsxfG4/tmen-10.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vZdM1J8r/tmen-11.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cLMWfF6V/tmen-12.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YSrHRQWj/tmen-13.jpg OK, sleuths, any positive identification of locations? |
:previous: T-Men
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Z3xx4h.jpg Handsome Stranger I found this https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/xaauzb.jpg (the " is for Hollywood) lapl, 1936 c.d. Which would place it in the Outpost Building. This one. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/4HHaBj.jpg gsv Up these steps to room #234. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/5hVZiM.jpg oleschak _________________________________________________________________________________ but I feel like I have to add this caveat: Handsome's screen-cap doesn't look like the Outpost Building. There's always the possibility that the bath moved sometime after 1936 (the address of the directory) and before 1946 (the filming of T-Men) comparison for you lazy scrollers https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/Z3xx4h.jpg What do ya'll think....right building? :shrug: or wrong? __ |
Here are the three photographs of the Ponet Square Hotel [1971] I had planned to post a couple weeks ago...but didn't. I don't think we have seen before. (I could be wrong)
All from flickr #1 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/FvlZdj.jpg 19 people DIED. :( (most were on the top floor) This one is my favorite. #2 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/gHP1tO.jpg I believe fireman are hot....I mean noble and brave. #3 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/6zW2uv.jpg I don't recall if we've ever looked into any of the surrounding buildings. The two on the right are quite interesting. ...there's a similar building, with ARCHed windows, in the 1st photo as well) _ |

Wilshire Blvd, August 1962
Apparently this shot of Wilshire Blvd was taken in August 1962.
But can anyone help me identify which stretch of it? I thought perhaps that tall black tower on the right with the vertical sign saying "STORAGE" might be a clue...? https://martinturnbull.com/wp-conten...ugust-1962.jpg |
I've re-ordered e_r's photos - I hope this makes sense :).
