In the 1955 BH phone book, Davis was at 321 N. Maple Drive. Looks like the post office is on the site now, or part of it is.... |

Yes, there were a couple posts last Sept. on that. I was going to guess it might be Perry Mason filming, but the recent photos have 1940's autos and the P.M. series is set in the 30's. Robert Petersen's Hidden History L.A. Instagram acct. has 4 photos featuring these autos, and a bus, from two days ago of the recent film shooting on Spring Street. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mwRk8ARlp/ |

I noticed this in something I was reading online a bit ago: Filming in Los Angeles today: TV Series: A League of Their Own Location: W 5th St & S Spring St, Los Angeles (6:00 AM – 8:00 PM) Yes, apparently Amazon is filming a TV series version of the original film, with different characters. (There was a series in the 90's of this that ran 5 episodes.) Which explains why the 4th photo in the instagram link in the above post has an Illinois license plate. The team is the Rockford (Illinois) Peaches. |

Cynical of me given her unhappiness, but I too might have thought being rescued by Mr. O'Sullivan to be just what the doctor ordered. A tribute to his life: http://countyrecurrent.blogspot.com/...-in-peace.html https://i.postimg.cc/8Px60RsV/osullivan2-bmp.jpg I didn't see anything in the Times about the auicide attempt, but this turned up in the Colton Courier on Nov 20: https://i.postimg.cc/x8b5LcSn/coltoncourier-bmp.jpg Fred's Cafe was at 1603 Ocean Front in the '52 Santa Monica directory.... |

"1927 AP Paramount News Photo, Miss Bobby Mack Woman Flagpole Sitter, Los Angeles." I'll never understand how flagpole sitting became a fad. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/TAvVWq.jpg eBay https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/4Yx7sj.jpg I was able to find out two things: #1 Bobby Mack should be spelled Bobbie Mack. .and. .#2 Bobbie Mack was also an aviator. I see that Remington Typewriters are sold in the building directly across the street. I also see Marion Davies' name on the side of a building. (above the auto park sign) I don't know what rooftop Bobbie and the flagpole are on. for search purposes:...hotel jovita... hotel cecil . |
What Happened to all the Gasometers?
They were so common before the 1980s. Then, Poof! Gone. Why? Plus, were they storage for natural gas (methane) or manufactured gas ("town gas")? I always assumed methane from wells.

https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...8thSpring1.jpg USC Digital Library Here's a better view of the flagpole building from about 20 years earlier. Photograph of the external view of the Armory Building, on the corner of Eighth Street and Spring Street, Los Angeles, ca.1908. The castle-like building stands about three-stories tall. An American flag stands on top of the tower (corner of building). The tower, like the rest of the building, has battlements all the way around it. Buttresses with pyramid-like spires reinforce the building's structure at intervals all around the building. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...8thSpring2.jpg USC Digital Library |

https://i.imgur.com/O3jwoP4.jpg findagrave.com I'm pretty adept at Find a Grave but how on earth did you figure out that Ellen Criss was Ernestine Ting? |

The author Jim Linderman of PARAPHILIA MAGAZINE [link directly above] should see what's available in 2020. It makes Door's material of 1963 look demure and tame. |
