Ahem, kaff kaff, (says he, whipping out his deck of Flash Gordon rocket ship spotters's cards) this is Zarkov's ship :-): https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net...20070514190455 https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net...20070514190455 Cheers, Earl |

So is this! https://filesofjerryblake.files.word...-spaceship.jpg Despite the obvious similarity, I was dubious considering the pictured ship (involved in terrestrial transport) was said to have been at the '32 Olympics, predating the '36 Serial. To be clear the comic strip began in '28. Look at my post again. The "towed" ship was most probably part of a homecoming parade and not related to the Tenth Olympiad. (In other words, I am agreeing with you.) There were probably several models used in the series. Some with cockpit windows, some without. Just ask Emperor Ming!

Oh, no I wasn't trying contradict you about dates, I was merely trying to clarify which ships were which in the movie series.
The ship being towed in the Colosseum is Dr. Zarkov's ship, which took the good Doctor, Flash, and Dale to the planet Mongo. The ship without the "ammunition belt" detail around its midsection belongs to Ming the Merciless and/or his minions. If I didn't attempt to clarify that, they would take away my Flash Gordon decoder ring :-) Cheers, Earl |
I have a slight 'connection' to Flash Gordon.
Remember the tacky 1980s movie? Sam Jones, the actor who played Flash, lived in my bungalow on Hancock Ave before I did. (actually, there was a tenant in-between, a bodybuilder that might have been a hustler) Many times I would have people knock on my door looking for one or the other.

Cops? That was another day for taking historical photos in the SF Valley area. I don't have photos of that day. I looked through all of George's photos after he passed away and did not find those pics. I think his roommate made them disappear. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psrltkht4j.jpg personal CD |

personal CD :previous: CBD, both those locations look interesting.

It's a short 59 sec. video showing that side of the street (at night). (I might have posted this video once before) but it's worth a 2nd look. __ Quote:

500-506 W. Temple (SW corner of Olive)
This Seaver Center photo is currently undated and titled "Los Angeles Business Building." However, there are two clues that
tell us this is a c. 1908 photo of 500-506 W. Temple and The Nesta aka the Nesta Hotel (the hotel entrance is at the far right): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...n.png~original SCWHR-P-005-N0243 at Seaver Center Clue #1: The building at the left edge of the photo is the Beth Israel Synagogue at 227 N. Olive: Quote:
can see "Sharp's Delicacies" on the glass. Flora Sharp and her delicacies were at 502 Temple only in the 1908 LA City Directory: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...b.jpg~original http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...2.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL The Nesta was built in 1906-07 and first appears in the 1908 LA City Directory: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...d.jpg~original September 30, 1906, LA Times @ ProQuest via LAPL http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...s.jpg~original Building Permit listed in the November 4, 1906, LA Times @ ProQuest via LAPL http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...u.jpg~original 1908 LACD @ fold3.com Here's The Nesta on the 1909 Birds Eye View map of Los Angeles: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...x.jpg~original Library of Congress When Temple Street was widened, The Nesta lost 10 feet off its front. This is the November 12, 1931, BP for the work: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...r.jpg~original LABDS The building seems to always have been either The Nesta or the Nesta Hotel: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...e.jpg~original 1942 LACD @ LAPL The Nesta Hotel is on the 1950 Sanborn, marked VAC for vacant: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...1.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL By December 6, 1950, when this photo was taken, the Nesta Hotel was gone (the dot marks the SW corner of Temple and Olive): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...u.jpg~original 00109975 @ LAPL Today, Olive no longer intersects with Temple; it stops at 1st Street. |

Louise Denker was the widow of Andrew Denker, an early real estate developer who died in 1892... among the properties Denker and his brother-in-law Henry Hammel had acquired was the Rancho Rodoe de las Aguas, which of course turned into Beverly Hills... despite her connection to BH and that she would have been able to observe its early residential development as well as that of other Wilshire-corridor tracts, Louise built a house out on Adams Street (3820 West Adams was completed in 1913, designed by Cooper Corbett).... The Adams corridor was still competitive in 1913, but even before the Depression it would begin losing its appeal with the affluent. Unlike many West Adams houses, however, 3820 still stands—apparently it even still had its original furnishing until sometime in the '90s. I thought we must have seen Denker's house before here at NLA, but I couldn't find it. Here's a view from adamsboulevardlosangeles.blogspot.com https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ym...A=w795-h529-no I think that early on Hammel & Denker ran the United States Hotel on Main Street for Louis Mesmer... |
