Linda and Dru, where are you?...and do you still stroll around L.A. in bathing suits and high heels? |

La La Land
La La Land has come up again on the thread and I noticed Lindsay from IAmNotAStalker.com did a write-up/review, focused on the Orcutt Ranch location.
Lindsay is usually universally enthusiastic about everything, but La La Land left her cold (she also links to the glum New Yorker review) https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui...&sz=w1366-h638 iamnotastalker.com |

And why would there be a "motorcycle officer" at that location? And where is his motorcycle? |

Too bad! I really like the film. There seems to now be a sizable amount of people ready to lambaste a film they might otherwise have just felt indifferent to. Maybe because it's gotten so much attention, awards and critical acclaim, I don't know. I understand if someone might be indifferent to it, but there's alot of anger in what some are no writing about it. Oh, well, I don't feel that! |
Here's today's Julius Shulman post. It's "Job 269: Gruen and Krummeck, Kutlers Department Store (Long Beach, Calif.), 1948".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original There are a few extra shots of the interior, but they don't add much to the ones I picked. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original This display cabinet appears to hold a lighter and accessories like cuff links. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original I'll finish the Shulman images with a night shot showing the neon. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute A bit of Googling suggests that Kutlers was a men's shop rather than a full department store. It was located at 120 E Broadway, Long Beach. I think that the arched windows on the second floor of the current building match those in the vintage views. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original GSV |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/jqMfFS.jpgdetail Hoss, I couldn't help but notice the art deco parking meter. I mean, that's quite an extravagant design.......for a parking meter. |
In the current GSV image in HossC's post above, why would they
blur out the last word in the "Broadway Pizza & _____" sign? |
:previous:
I think that some of the blurring process is automated, because I often see blurred street numbers, street names, phone numbers etc. I contemplated using an older GSV image for that very reason, but the recent ones either had similar blurring or sheared lines where the images didn't quite match together properly (sometimes I just edit that out if I have the time!). I think that the blurred word was "Grill". I don't remember seeing those Art Deco meters before, e_r, but I haven't been looking. I bet it costs slightly more than 5¢/60 mins to park there today. |
"Corner of Broadway and Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles, 1953"
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/L6aOKG.jpg http://www.vintag.es/2016/11/corner-...rson-blvd.html Well, there's no description, but this is obviously a posed photograph showing the effects of smog Los Angeles was experiencing in the 1950s. I wonder who the person is? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/iJzC7I.jpgdetail # # # update: I just noticed Martin_Turnbull has this photograph on his site as well. Here's what he wrote. "I don’t know what was going on at the corner of Broadway and Jefferson Blvd when a photographer from the L.A. Examiner took this photo on February 4th, 1953, but the result is pretty stunning, don’t you think?' http://martinturnbull.com/2014/12/26...uary-4th-1953/ __ |

Here's another look at the billboard. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/1vjPL2.jpg http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ne...ure-id85080412 (I'm pretty sure we've seen this image once before on NLA) Parked near a sign for 'Paradise Cove.' people stand by their cars and watch the smoke from a wildfire in Malibu, California, late 1940s or early 1950s. The silver car in the center is either a 1949 or 1950 Nash Ambassador 4-Door hardtop sedan. __ |

She might have been waiting for a cab or a friend or she might have been watching for a guy with an empty front seat. She had a nice smile, kinda shy, climbed in, seemed maybe a little older than she'd looked on the sidewalk but needed a ride up to 11th and Hill, had a room next door to the Mayan. They hit the fog at Figueroa, turned on the wipers and plowed on through until he had to stop and climb on a mailbox to see where they were. She stayed in the car and thumbed through his glove box. |

We've seen many examples of 'mimetic' architecture on NLA, but I don't believe we have seen "Betsy Ann". http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/B5gnSR.jpg http://futurestudio.typepad.com/phot...betsy-ann.html The Betsy Ann, in the shape of a woman with a hat, long curls in her hair, a large hoop skirt, and holding a fan, is an ice cream and candy shop. Two ice cream cones flank the entrance, which is through her skirt. Signs on either side of her read: "We manufacture our own ice cream and candies," below that, another sign reading, "Betsy Ann fancy ice cream & candies," and "Good old Eastside. The perfect brew. We serve cold drinks of all kinds." There was a real Betsy Ann behind Betsy Ann Candies; Betsy Ann Helsel founded the company in 1938. In this photo, two 2-story homes can be seen directly behind the ice cream parlor. I looked through several directories....but no Betsy Ann Helsel. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/QRoMMW.jpglapl Does anyone know where the "Betsy Ann' was located.......was it really in Los Angeles? __ also, I can't remember...what non-alcoholic beverage did Eastside 'brew'? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/htXVdX.jpgdetail I mean, this is an ice cream shop. __ |
Thanks so much Beaudry! I didn't notice the Krogh Store in your pic until you pointed it out.
