One more mystery for this fine afternoon.
"Original Snapshot - Los Angeles Ca 1920's L.A. Restaurant & Autos." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Rd5TJj.jpg EBAY I briefly thought this might be Mexico... until I noticed the blade sign. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/UYmdcV.jpg DETAIL / WALLACE CHINA BLADE SIGN I found a couple of addresses... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/Qi5p9T.jpg LAPL https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/MhKEr6.jpg LAPL ...but I haven't been able to piece it all together. :shrug: . |

Anyone notice how desolate it is around this Tamale place? Doesn't seem to be anything else around for miles. the front of the building seems to say: N.W. Lane. :shrug: I know one thing...if I tossed down a malted milk and a couple hot tamale pies, there better be a bathroom in the vicinity. :hell::runaway: On further review, I found that the place still exists at 6418 Whittier Blvd. in East L.A. https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...le%20place.png Google Street View Civilization has moved in. |
I may have posted this photo years ago, but it's in color and pretty neat...so what the heck.
https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...tleTokyo-3.jpg Earl Witscher, Modernage Photo We are looking at Little Tokyo and the Civic Center. Notice the color contrast. Little Tokyo had a lot of red brick buildings and the City Hall buildings were lighter concrete. If you scroll all the way to the right, you see Central Avenue going up from the bottom of the photo. The street going left to right is East Third Street. Way over on the top right is Alameda. I am not sure about the date of the photo, but it has to be prior to the 1971 earthquake. Many of the buildings along Third Street were destroyed or heavily damaged in the quake. |

I love photos with newsstands in them. When they're contemporary we hardly notice them. When they're in period photos they stand out because they can be so time specific. I was recently trying to find an old commercial on youtube, but not having any luck because I don't remember what the product was it was selling. (I have an idea, but don't want to influence anyone else's memory.) I think it was from the 90's, but it could've been 80's. The commercial is set at a newsstand and the camera is the POV of the clerk inside the newsstand, with the stand opening framing the TV screen, with magazines and papers around it. In the commercial, people come up to the newsstand from a certain time period and then we cut to a new time period with different people a few more times. (I guess the idea was to show the product has been popular for so long?) Anyone remember this in any way? |

I'm wondering how women climbed into and out of those rumble seats back then, considering the skirts they wore during that period. Did they give everyone a free show? |
Recently, I watched one of the Lost L.A. shows produced by KCET. This one was Lost-L.A.-Hills. Featured on the show was Gordon Pattison.
https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...Capture1_4.png KCET.org/shows/lost-LA-hills He grew up in The Castle... https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...y/Capture2.png KCET.org/shows/lost-LA-hills https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...y/Capture3.png KCET.org/shows/lost-LA-hills ...and lived there until 1964. His family owned both The Castle and The Saltbox. At one point in the show, he traveled to the original site of The Castle, which is now the Wells Fargo building food court. https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums.../Capture_3.png KCET.org/shows/lost-LA-hills The interesting thing was that, although this was the original site of the house, it would have been located five or six stories above where he was standing. That is how much of the hill had been shaved off. If you look at these comparison photos Beaudry posted recently, you can visualize how high the old Castle stood on the hill, compared to the modern buildings. https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...d%20street.png |
I think it says N.W. Lane Prop.(proprietor) on the tamale building.

'mystery' location SOLVED.

At first, I didn't understand why you said the "Hollywood Dance Center is still in business" That is, until....I zeroed in on the white sign about the woman. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/3rYrUO.jpg DETAIL You must have a good pair of peepers, Hoss. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/6Ao6Hx.jpg So what do you think the large letters on the building spell out? All I can think of is...PETCO. (it's not) hmmm...& why do the first two letters appear to 'bleed' over the streetlight? -optical illusion :shrug: Here's a glimpse inside the second story of the Hollywood Dance Center. (middle building, I presume) It looks rather 'old school'. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/s3cJZr.jpg YELP https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/dhXzIg.jpg YELP I smell feet and moth balls. . |
PBS's AMERICAN MASTERS series has an 83 minute documentary premiering tonight titled: "Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable."
Remember this photograph that E_R first posted in January, 2017, and the NLA sleuths discovered exactly where it was taken...in Los Angeles. The photograph appears within the first ten minutes of the film. I do wish they'd mentioned where it was taken because so many sources have it labeled as New York, as E_R first noted in his post. Quote:
I discovered this program flipping through channels and didn't have time to view it, so I'll have to go back to watch it at some point. The brief few minutes I watched near the beginning also had film or video of Winogrand shooting photos on Hollywood Blvd. PBS often airs their programs more than once, or streams on PBS station affiliated websites. A short description online says that in the film there are several photographic sequences set to music. |
Is this Los Angeles?
"Unusual 1920 Middle Street View 3 Automobiles Bicycle 2 Riders Danger Hand Work" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/xecyBl.jpg The ebay seller doesn't know the location of this horribly cropped photograph... and there's no information on the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/Hiv3zB.jpg EBAY front and back but I believe the large building down the street might be the Shrine Auditorium. Let's take a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/SEtRiH.jpg EBAY What do you all think...is that the Shrine? That man swerving to avoid the boys on the bicycle has turned white as a ghost. By the way... The seller is asking $225.00 for the photo. GAZOOKS! :eek: . |

I wish the sun had been a little more cooperative, but note the electrical tape around the base of the left luminaire, and the left arm of the candelabrum on this twin Marbelite that can be found on San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1e2e457e_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1e2e457e_c.jpg My photo: 04-17-15 |

acorn8332, I think you're probably right about black masking tape. that's about the only thing that could explain the visual anomaly.

I think you are right on this one E.R. This is the intersection of Jefferson and Hoover. That is the Shrine Auditorium down the street. https://oi445.photobucket.com/albums...ley/shrine.png Google Street View |
