This is what it looks like inside; note the SOUND HORN sign at the curve. I was tempted to crawl in and explore but no-one knew I was there and if anything happened it would have been a long night. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3882/...e22df28e_o.gif Do any y'all know what's going into this area? Someone told me the site is to be an extension of Grand Park. But below is some of the excavation work. That kind of pit is for a great big building, not for sod. Which is sad, because I've always enjoyed the uninterrupted sight-vista in front of City Hall from Hill St. Seems they're looking to erect some (unquestionably inferior) structure directly across from City Hall. Sad. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3883/...9575e7f5_o.gif Anyway, I won't take up any more of your time with non-vintage photos of LA. I will say this, though, being at a demo site under the watchful eye of City Hall sort of "took me back" (to a time I'd never been) as it was eerily reminiscent of when we experienced...The Difficulties. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2929/...6868de32_o.gif Beaudry - These "non-vintage photos" like yours are the most important things on this thread. If you didn't go out and crawl around in the rubble, our chance to see these images would have been gone forever. Thanks. |
I think we should try to harness this technology for Noirish L.A. photos - http://www.theguardian.com/artanddes...ow-interactive - definitely makes the photos of D-Day even more impactful.

Grand Central Market - All you can drink for 5ยข. Wonder how long this was available.

Can someone responsible drive home? Dress code?
"Tin Can" said to be on 1201 (N or S) La Brea. (Address provided by source. No directory listing found after cursory search. Suspect it was 1201 N La Brea, Inglewood as current structure (1205) bears uncanny similarity.) Circa 1938 http://jpg1.lapl.org/00099/00099003.jpg http://jpg1.lapl.org/00099/00099003.jpg |

1960 - 818 W Sixth Street - Darms Market
In 1960 was Darms located at bottom of current high rise? Obviously Darms has departed the scene, but was the entire building replaced or facelifted? http://jpg2.lapl.org/pics49/00059055.jpghttp://jpg2.lapl.org/pics49/00059055.jpg |

Safe to say that the Huntington's date is accurate. The '58 renewal sticker was green with white lettering. (The '57's background was red, '59 beige/ivory, '60 blue, '61 red, '62 whitish...) |
