Welcome back Johnny S! We missed you.

Not a problem. Thank YOU for understanding. Short of having a photographic memory and excellent search skills (I have neither), duplication is bound to happen.

Strangely enough, the photos do not look particularly pestiferous. The Lunch Room @ 450 could use for a spot of paint and a new table cloth or two, but the price is right. A hot shower seems like a good idea right now.

Muahaha my evil plan to get people to buy the game is working! Total world domination is close at hand!

....but seriously, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Not a bad guess, but the game has it listed as a Delage D8 S Poutout, made over in France in the late '30s. And for what it's worth, it's my favorite car in the game...voluptuous looks, good speed and silky smooth handling.

And as an aside, I just want to thank ethereal reality, gaylord wilshire and everyone else who have kept this thread going strong for so long now. It's without a doubt my most favorite thread on the entire internet. Cheers!

so a few weeks back we were talking about recording studios,then it went to cher ,then it went to gold star studios.i found this script book of my dads,dont want to make it a subject since its not noirish at all,but just wanted to toss in my 2 cents.

Is this too redundant? Or is it interesting all over again? -be honest. (I added a few new comments and questions to the original post)
Thank you 'Chuckaluck' for renewing my interest in the bubonic plague photos.

A 'makeshift' road undulating it's way out to San Bernardino. What happens if you meet another car!?!

I'm out of town but still watching the thread, and was really blown away by all the hi-res postcard images you posted. Was sitting in my Columbus, Ohio hotel room saying "Wow!" to the walls as I scrolled through them. Nice. I tried to get a Google Street View of the above scene but it looks like that section of Mulholland was realigned, and as usual all the homes, walls, and trees now block 90% of the views.

I'll have to go back and check the source where you found these. Is there much more good stuff on that site?

And I noticed that e_r has been posting images from a Library Of Congress site. Sounds like that might be another good source, will have to check that out too.

Loads of great material here lately! Sometimes this thread moves so fast, it's hard to respond to everything of interest, everything that I might like to. But thanks, and keep up the good work everyone.

An excellent question! Perhaps cars were allowed to go in one direction in the morning, and the other in the evening. ;)

You've got me convinced to get it too. Question, though, can you really just wander through the game without playing? Won't someone shoot you sooner or later and spoil the fun??

And I'd like to second your thanks to the guys who've been driving this thread. I've been learning tons of interesting and valuable information every day when I visit, so I really, really appreciate it. :)

:previous: Amazing that the remnants of an old wooden road still exists!
Notice the fence on either side...at least someone has recognized the historical value of this old plank road.

Speaking of wholesome food and sanitary living conditions, how about that Crescent Creamery and Butter Co., at 241 Winson St! Where else would the Alexandria and Nadeau procure buttermilk and ice cream? Too bad about the 1908 fire. Fortunately, the Station 23 was close at hand! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thed...0201_cover.JPG

OK... but believe me, no one was worrying that you may have confused the two designs...

L.A. Noire visions
 

OMG. Thanks to all you guys and this great forum I've been reading for the past two months, I went out last night to Fry's and bought my first ever PC Video Game, L.A. Noire. Now I have to beef up my RAM and Video card since I am not usually a gamer. It LOOKS great, though. and during my first case, I ended up at a suspect's house just above this bridge on 2nd Street. So just for fun, I ran down the stairs on the left and turned INTO the trolley tunnel and ran all the way to the other side. SO REALISTIC, even inside the tunnel. These guys think of everything!

I tried to get a similar angle and had to use digital camera to get the screenshot.

:previous: Amazing! I am really liking the color noir shots.

I love the graphics on this old matchbook.

I like the oversized sign on the roof and nothing else. I am sure it looked a lot more 'exotic' back in the day.

Me too. Loving the game too. Can anyone advise me on how to get the great screen shots from the game? I thought I tried Print Screen but didn't work since it's in its own full-screen resolution.
