Glendale mystery location. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/aLznos.jpg eBay (from a few days ago / gone now) Let's take a closer look at the right side. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/CBwrx9.jpg detail That poor car. ... Can gravel roads do that much damage :shrug: And let's look down the street. I believe I see the word 'white'. ......something & White. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Nr5LQg.jpg detail :previous: And if you look at the left edge of the photo there's a large pole sign in the distance. From the lettering/design I'm guessing. .perhaps. . ."Grab It Here" grocery store. :shrug: (but there's no room for the 'Here' https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/cC59uy.jpg Anyhoo. . .that's all I got - as far as clues. . |

The sign looked like "...RY W WHITE." In the 1941 Glendale city directory I found: https://i.postimg.cc/wTkK6t15/1526-Canada.jpg https://archive.org/details/cgl_0000.../n429/mode/1up Plus the only other "Glendale" image the eBay vendor was selling was a construction photo of Glendale College, which is very close to 1526 Canada Blvd. I made some screen grabs of the mountains from Google Earth, but you'll have to wait for now. (working now!!) There's some missing ridgeline behind the hanging branch, which looks like it was removed for the freeway. https://i.postimg.cc/6qCds2fF/Station-Original.jpg eBay https://i.postimg.cc/VN3rYsvw/Station-Google.jpg Google Earth |

That's some nifty mountain line geolocation work Mackerm. :) So maybe this is how the businesses line-up on an aerial from the 1940's. https://i.imgur.com/B31VYqA.jpg archive.org - Glendale CD 1948 mil.library.ucsb.edu - Nov 1944 Aerial (Download - 29 MB) |

Thanks, Bill! So that's what they were doing up there for months last year. I kept wondering why they had the triangle all tarped off. I'd asked some people one day who were up there what was going on and they said the city was storing road equipment in there while they were working on the streets. If it were not for the quarantining all year I'd have seen this months ago, as I frequently catch a bus on that very spot when I have/had reason to go places. Last time I was up there was March. I looked up some things online after seeing your post. Apparently they installed it on February 29th (there's photos here and there of that) and then covered it up until March 28th for a ceremony and unveiling. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/attr...le_keenan2.jpg Roadside America This is a great place for it, it can be seen from all sides as Holloway, Sunset, Palm and Horn all converge in the same spot! (It's diagonally across from where Tower Records was located, for those that aren't familiar with the area.) And speaking of quarantining: |
Vis-à-vis our Harry W. White of Glendale:
He, quoth the Los Angeles Times of April 10, 1930, was the architect for this pleasant--and still extant--building near the corner of Holt and Garvey in Pomona. https://i.postimg.cc/q73SN985/White-Pomona-GSV.jpg gsv The new building was dubbed El Casa del Val. Closer to L.A., he was also the General Contractor (L.A. Times, 4/22/1951) for a building at 115 S. Central in Glendale, which, as we see . . . https://i.postimg.cc/4yBSCZgm/White1...l-Glen-GSV.jpg gsv isn't there anymore. |

re: Glendale mystery location Superlative sleuthing Mackerm & Noir Noir :worship:.....very impressive! . |
Here's an instructional video I made showing how to make photo overlays, which are rarely used ... probably because it's really a clumsy process. There are also a couple follow-ups on my YouTube channel with stuff I forgot to include.

We haven't seen this place on NLA. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/mA3qyq.jpg eBay I'd never heard of Salvatore Santaella until I happened upon this matchbook. He was a "Mexican Composer & Pianist".... . other than that, I haven't found any information about his time in Hollywood. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/UMzhv4.jpg abcdvdv Judging by his eyes he's definitely the guy on the matchbook. (only younger) for search purposes:....Solly's...38 N. La Cienega . |

Here's another place I don't believe we have seen on NLA. ..............................................................................................................................Patrone's Restaurant https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/BiJ7Sg.jpg eBay It appears to be in a residential area....... It's in a house! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/RWZvcv.jpg .......for search purposes:....829 No. La Cienga Blvd.....Los Angeles, California....Phone OLympia 2-9209 |

This 1953 photo's caption lists Solly's at 53 N. La Cienega Blvd. (Beverly Hills) http://hollywoodhistoricphotos.com/images/scbsh53.jpgHHP The most recent building at the 38 N. La Cienega address was Benihana's. It was torn down about 4 years ago and is still vacant. The Stinking Rose is now at 55 N. La Cienega with a large parking area encompassing 53 N. La CIenega, I'm guessing. |

:previous: Excellent find, Martin Pal. The sign on the right is especially intriguing. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/P0gVQu.jpg detail It appears to be lines of music with various words beneath. I wonder if the two lines of music was traveling neon. . |
