The current facade was apparently remodeled with two bay windows. Covered by the large rectangular sign appears to be the roof we're looking for. And the yellow arrow points to the detent in the next door roof (missing from the GSV impage of 4625). https://larry.wizegallery.com/VWV/4619%20melrose.jpg (GSV, hosted by me) |

John R. Avery was a Hollywood builder who developed the nec of Melrose & Ardmore in 1921...he was issued a number of permits for 4617-21-23-25 Melrose (and various -½s of them) on April 18 of that year for small stores and attendent dwellings--for example, 4619 was originally a store building, with 4619½ a dwelling. Various later permits allow for the alterations of the stores, which included hardware and liquor stores. In 1927 an alteration permit was issued referring to 4619 as a tea room...and in 1937 one was issued for the remodeling of its façade: https://i.postimg.cc/tTqCc5gZ/4619tearoomref-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/vBZbhZP5/4619-1937-bmp.jpg Quote:

Haunted House Discotheque, 1963 slide. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/cgooWI.jpg found on eBay about a month ago. Ok, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize the Haunted House was located in the old Sardi's location. ..(I thought SARDI'S was on the opposite side of the street) Note the Rector's Admiral Theater between the couple. . |

:previous: That's a fun video, Hoss. I didn't realize there was an actual 'haunted house' you had to walk through to get to the dance floor.
I also noticed a sign advertising lunch and dinner on the front door. I didn't know the place searched food either. |
.
I was surprised when I happened upon this photograph today. "VINTAGE PHOTO BRITISH AIRWAYS CONCORDE ARRIVING AT LOS ANGELES AIRPORT 1970s" .....(it looks like it's taking off but I think that's how it landed) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/xliPIN.jpg eBay I was under the impression the Concorde only flew in to (and out of) JFK before it was banned. I obviously need to brush up on my aviation history. . |
Given all the Kirk Douglas / 15 yr old Natalie Wood stories, does anyone else find this a little creepy?

On an overcast day in 1974, the Concorde 2 supersonic transport (SST) airplane flew into LAX, the first time the SST had visited Southern California. |

Thanks for the information on the SST CaliNative and Hoss. I always appreciate it. To be honest I was never as enamored with the SST as I was with the Boeing 747. (I was born in 1960 so all these innovations occurred when I was a kid) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/3FUuZ5.jpg pinterest (sucks). I never found the original source https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/uF7gKS.jpg re: Growing up in the 1960s. I wanted to be an astronaut but that didn't work out. I should have aimed a little lower. lol . |

What museum, Hoss? I, too, was aboard one of those in a museum, outside London I think. I agree with your assessment of it. Somehow I had gotten the notion it was high-end and luxurious, but it felt like being in a test tube. It also seemed to me the exterior was rather thin. I had a British friend who did fly on one once. He kept some souvenir from the trip, but I don't recall if it was something like a swizzle stick or what it was, but it said Concorde on it. _____________ Astronaut: On a game show recently I discovered that this word comes from Greek words meaning "star sailor." I think we should use those words! |

I find it creeper that she was with George Jessell. Talk about a haunted house. |

I was also in London on October 24, 2003 when the last three Concordes circled overhead before landing in sequence at Heathrow. It was quite a sight. Even up until the end, people used to look up whenever a Concorde was passing overhead. |
Although I've flown on all variety of 747's over the years, and A380's as well, I still maintain they're too big to fly.
It's one of life's mysteries that I'm forced to accept. (Is it witchcraft? Is it magic? Lift, thrust, light weight materials - I guess I'll never know...) :shrug: |

Whenever I hear "Concorde" I always first think of grape juice. And, yes, I know there's no "e" on the grape juice. |
