__ While searching for the Radio City Motel I came across this photograph of the Black Dahlia. As you can see, Ms. Short is standing in front of NBC Radio City on Sunset and Vine. http://imageshack.us/a/img801/1508/9nqh.jpg http://www.radiocityhollywood.com/ I don't recall seeing this photo before. Do you think it's authentic? -or is someone messing with us? __ |

Hey ethereal_reality, this is the 700 S. block of San Pedro Street in Downtown LA. The Victorian commercial block at the far left of the photo is what gives it away. Incredibly, it still stands today! http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/...ps126c4637.jpgGoogle Street view What's even more incredible is that, going by the Google Street view, every single building in the circa 1958 photo is still in existence, with the exception of the white building just south of the corner building with the "CANVAS" sign. |
:previous: Thanks Tetsu!

Speaking of deja vu, there were several posts concerning the address of this building (6001 Van Nuys Blvd. at Oxnard St.) and a couple of view. Not sure about this one. Circa 1920 http://digital-library.csun.edu/util...XT=&DMROTATE=0http://digital-library.csun.edu/util...XT=&DMROTATE=0http://digital-library.csun.edu/cdm/...id/2767/rec/83 http://digital-library.csun.edu/util...XT=&DMROTATE=0http://digital-library.csun.edu/util...XT=&DMROTATE=0 |

Regarding SMK, they filmed at Warner Bros. in Burbank and in the episode in question they were also at the Biltmore, in Pasadena, in Encino, and in Thousand Oaks. That's a big stretch of territory for a single episode. In case you're interested, our entire map for the show can be found here: https://www.zeemaps.com/SMK_in_L.A.. We're just shy of 300 markers at the moment. If you happen to spot it in your searching for NCIS, that would be super. And if there's anything you're stuck on in your own hunt, let me know. It does get easier, but every so often you hit a wall and it gets sooo frustrating. |

I found your SMK location, though! 16101 Ventura Blvd, Encino. Your episode screen cap: http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps686166b0.jpg Unfortunately, the motel has been replaced by a shopping center. This happened between 1989 and 1994. The L-shaped motel is visible only in the oldest aerial from Google Earth, from August 1989. I tried to match the angle of the screen cap: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m...2520AM.bmp.jpg A shopping center with a circular area in the middle takes up the whole footprint of the old motel, as well as another building that was at the corner of Ventura & Woodley. But, the two big buildings are still there to confirm, particularly the building across the street, whose white trim is not symmetrical. Google Earth's 1994 aerial shows the shopping center, possibly under construction but it's too washed out for me to tell. Here's the best angle I can get with Google Maps: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B...2520AM.bmp.jpg |
Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much!!!!! :cheers:
How do I go about accessing those early Google Earth images? I'm sure there's a simple way to go about it. They might be very helpful to us. |

http://imageshack.us/a/img853/483/qzzz.jpg ebay At bottom right is the 900-seat Hyman Theater built in 1911 on a lot measuring 150 feet by 50 feet. (later renamed the Garrick). now http://imageshack.us/a/img4/2669/ppis.jpg GSV At extreme right, replacing the Hyman/Garrick Theater, is the Charles Lee designed Tower Theater built in 1926/27. Broadway entrance to the Chapman Building on the northeast corner.

There is also www.historicaerials.com which can have a lot of different years depending on location, although in this case they had nothing between 1980 and 2003. They have watermarks across the images but they're still helpful if you're looking for something. There is a dissolve function there that lets you fade between any two sets of images with a slider bar. |
In the distance there is a turret visible on a hill. Can anyone tell me what that is? (it resembles the 'magic castle' in Hollywood)
The seller says this is the front lawn of Abraham Lincoln High School circa 1960s http://imageshack.us/a/img5/9320/hdd0.jpg ebay __ |
