I recall a few Gasometer images related to Ducommon St. None of them deal directly with the skinny structure, but maybe they could lead to something relevant. :shrug: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...68528/rec/9995 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...XT=&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...XT=&DMROTATE=0 http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...XT=&DMROTATE=0http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/utils/...XT=&DMROTATE=0 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=23627 http://wwww.dkse.net/david/NYE51/Gas.Holders.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=3585 http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1295/...296cd7b1_b.jpg |
Yep, this again.

'My Own Place' was actually before his stint at the Mocambo and it only lasted a year and a half at the 8517 location. (hence the lack of photos) Here's an excerpt from a profile in the Oct. 1967 issue of Billboard Magazine. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/nU4tfh.jpg https://books.google.com/books?id=8i...lboard&f=false So now I'm curious this King's Restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd.....has it been seen on NLA yet? side-note: The only King's Restaurant I could find in the city directories was a location at 5909 Pacific Boulevard in Huntington Park. :shrug: _ |

Martin Turnbull's site lists "The King’s Restaurant" at 8153 Santa Monica Blvd, possibly in the 1940s. He says the restaurant was " where nightclub employees and the occasional cheeky, trysting movie star, claimed as their hangout." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...estaurant1.jpg www.martinturnbull.com |

I suspect my fascination with the show is due to the ability for me to relive my younger years (think: early teens) and the anticipation of each new episode on Friday nights. Old guys like me have a tendency to start looking backwards rather than forwards. As I've mentioned in the past, I grew up in Indiana so 77SS and the whole LA area seemed to me to be the epitome of cool--unlike the cornfields of my state. I was overjoyed when MeTV began broadcasting the reruns, even though I have most of the episodes on DVDs--which were not easy to find 10 years ago. There's a really good episode coming up in the next week or so where each of the cast members recount their own version of how Bailey & Spencer got started. I believe it's called "Once Upon a Caper". It is hilarious. Do yourself a favor and mix up a batch of martinis, light up a menthol and sit back and enjoy! |

666 S Bonnie Brae Street may have started out as the Heather Apartments, but then became the Lange Apartments around 1916. That name only stuck for a few years, because the 1921 CD lists them as the Mory Apartments - a name that appears in the CDs up until 1960 (no name is given after that). There are a few more details of the fire at ktla.com. |

Dino's in it's heyday, next to fictitious address 77 Sunset Strip. For a long time, even though Dino's and the office building next door had been razed, the drive-through parking area (where Kookie lingered to park the restaurant guests' cars) between the two buildings survived...at least long enough for me to visit and walk through it to imagine what it was like 50 years ago. Now it's all gone, replaced by the very ugly Millenium Project of condos and apartments. No charm whatsoever. (one of these days, I'm going to figure out how to make a photo actually appear in my posts, dagnabbit!) |
I always loved the announcer's commanding voice at the beginning of 77 SUNSET STRIP, MAVERICK and all the other Warner Brothers shows of that era -
"From the entertainment capital of the world, this is a Warner Brothers television presentation". The announcer, it turns out was Ed Reimers who was also the guy who told us we were in good hands with All-State. |

That explains a few things. (P.S.: The address was 8514 or 8516, but not across the street at 8517! ;)) Quote:
I did a post about "The Kings Restaurant" with some menus, ads, history and a couple different postcards here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=21050 |
I thought this was going to be another single-image Julius Shulman post. It's "Job 4275: Flewelling and Moody, Concord Apartments (Pasadena, Calif.), 1967".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Getty Research Institute A note in the description suggested looking at another set. "Job 4445: Flewelling and Moody, Two Buildings (Calif.), 1969" contains a few more images, including these color ones. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Here's a close-up. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Both from Getty Research Institute You'll find the Concord Pasadena at 275 Cordova St, Pasadena. Apart from the TV dishes and the height of the trees, nothing appears to have changed much. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original GSV |

The Hollywood Knickerbocker Hotel broke ground yesterday (Wed.) for its new Sun and Cabana Club to be constructed adjoining the hotel. [June 8, 1955]

Here's the first one I found...it's a bit blurry. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/R6ICh4.jpg postmarked 1961 / www.cardcow.com I'm pretty sure that's Ivar Avenue on the far side of that wall on the left. below: The pool area is gone, but I believe it used to be where this one story building with an inflatable roof is today. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/Y4z87C.jpg gsv :previous: hmm...there isn't a pool inside that building, is there....? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/bBStlH.jpg google_earth / NORTH is at top And here's the second image of the Knickerbocker pool area. I believe we're looking north and slightly east, right? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/Y6fvHU.jpg https://www.pinterest.com/pin/487936940854794606/ sorry for the blurriness. -------- For comparison, here is the pool area of the nearby Hollywood Plaza Hotel during the same time period. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/xl0mo7.jpg ebay I'm pretty sure the Hollywood Plaza is now a retirement home (like the Knickerbocker) so they probably tookthe pool out... but it's difficult to tell for all the palm trees. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/LiheHD.jpg Pool or no pool, it's great all those trees are still there. -especially for the elderly tenants. ---- update: Quote:

Hotel Figueroa, 1888-1926
Quote:
The January 1, 1888, Los Angeles Herald listed recent buildings by local architects, and R. B. Young's work included this, which I'm reasonably sure is the Hotel Figueroa: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...8.jpg~original CDNC January 10, 1888, Los Angeles Times: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...t.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL In 1888, 16th Street east of Figueroa was called Pine Street (west of Figueroa it was Rouland Street [that's according to the Sanborn Map, but it may have actually been Rowland]), but of course now 16th Street is called Venice Blvd. The bridge connecting the main and rear buildings is unusual: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...n.jpg~original 1888 Sanborn @ ProQuest via LAPL 1890 LA City Directory: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...n.jpg~original fold3.com 1906 Sanborn: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...j.jpg~original ProQuest via LAPL This undated photo looks NE at the Hotel Figueroa: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...o.jpg~original Islandora (link not always available) The Hotel Figueroa's demo permit ("Demolish + remove from lot") is dated June 18, 1926: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...j.jpg~original LADBS |
