'mystery' location (despite knowing the cross streets)
CHERRY AUTO COURT & CAFE, LONG BEACH CALIF. FLOOD 1934 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/pc9uv2.jpg EBAY INFO https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/wykQMX.jpg I found State St. and Cherry Ave. but both streets appear to run north and south. :shrug: __ BONUS QUESTION: Is that Signal Hill in the distance or one of the other oil fields down that way? |

The oil wells would be the west end of Signal Hill. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ereyMotel1.jpg GSV |

I guess the arches went to McDonald's. :yes: __________________________________________ This is the only McDonald's arches I've ever seen that are angled: https://c1.staticflickr.com/6/5257/5...0f877925_b.jpgFlickr This is the McDonald's on Hollywood Blvd. near Highland, exactly where Coffee Dan's used to be. |

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2368/...8af44161_o.jpg Speedee by Kimberly, on Flickr I lived across from this McDonald's up until I bought my home a few years ago. Dad and I would sometimes have lunch here. Mom & Dad said that when my brothers were young, and Dad was coaching baseball, this was the one place they could afford to bring a bunch of hungry boys to, feed them, and not go broke. (I'm talking late 50's - early 60's, when prices were about $.25 for a burger) |

Sadly, I've had to update the story of one of the last single-family houses still standing on Wilshire Boulevard.... https://wilshireboulevardhouses.blog...e-see-our.html |

Thank you so much FW for your outstanding post on the Horticultural Pavilion. It answered so many questions, particularly why it was so plain and narrow. I literally didn't know the half of it. |
Thanks so much for the information t2.

There are currently four Rood photographs on EBAY I believe we already discussed the fourth one but I'm not sure about the other three. thanks again for the info! __ update: I decided to go ahead and post the fourth Rood snapshot. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/viIxT8.jpg EBAY The writing is a bit cryptic...especially the mention of the Stock Exchange Bldg. :shrug: _ |
I believe this is a Rood snapshot as well.
"1926 Big Bear Lake Camp Seely Radford Los Angeles California City Trip Old Photo" (the seller is guessing about the location) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/ixloTM.png EBAY Numerous other Rood pics are labeled... Camp Radford....Seely. (that's why the seller included those locations) The man about to dive in the pool is a Los Angeles councilman....Stens(?), Witson(?) __ UPDATE: A majority of my Rood photographs are missing!! :hell: HERE and HERE |
Here's another Rood pool. (obviously a different pool than the one above)
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/a1tGwO.jpg EBAY seller's description: "1926 BIG BEAR LAKE CAMP SEELY RADFORD LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA CITY TRIP OLD PHOTO" The reason it says "City Trip" is because Rood, if I remember correctly, was the driver for one of city councilmen. These snaps are from Los Angeles City Council outings. |

THANKS HOSS It's much larger than I expected too with entrances on both Cherry Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/yeo8pc.jpg GSV I bet it's one of them No-Tell Motels now. The Pacific Coast Highway entrance lacks the graceful arches of the Cherry Ave. entrance. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/cxZa3r.jpg interesting...somewhat https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/7ZGe0R.png |
This is a fun bit of ephemera.

"1942 Press Photo 30-Foot High Stack Rubber Tires Falls in Los Angeles" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/GFR3Ej.jpg EBAY https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/AGqeR2.jpg I'm confused....so was the service station operator at the top of the tower? Here's the bottom third of the photo enlarged. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/GULHTO.jpg detail Obviously that's a drive-in at far right but I can't read the stylized lettering. - |

Regarding HFCS, I have always hated corn syrup, for the precise reason you cite. Enough people share our opinion to compel Costco to make Mexico-sourced Coca-Cola (sugar-sweetened) a stock item. That soda shop you linked is pretty close to us, and they also have an extensive beer selection, so I think Wifey and I will swing on by there soon. I'm hoping to find a nice dry ginger beer. |
