Interesting, Lorendoc!

If you zoom in on Google street view, the sign says milmull in “English” letters:

The Korean letters on the sign are very stylized, so maybe the ice cream guy had a hard time reading it. Or maybe it does say milmun on the sign, and the English on the sign is mistranslated.

PS: I checked out your ice cream place on Yelp, and the pictures look fantastic! I've got to try it out, I'm a sucker for green tea (matcha) ice cream!

Good pickup on the enlargement, I didn't see it. I also meant to type "mil mul" above, instead of "mil mun" - you can see the "L" sound is on the bottom of each syllable (looks like the number "2"), my error, not the ice cream vendor's.

:previous:

wordhippo gives the English translation of the Korean characters for "high tide"as "milmul" (but this is seriously out of my depth, you pick one)

As promised...a glimpse inside 3121 Arrowhead Drive. (taken in mid 1980s?)

no evidence of the shag carpeting GW. :( ...or the five bedrooms.

like this detail from photo #4.

DETAIL

The roof line makes me think this could be the back of 3132 Arrowhead Dr.
...but, as you can see, the nameplate says'XANADU' Mulholland Drive 197(?)

So what house is this?

(and what's that gold thing on the awning :shrug: it's the only thing in color in an otherwise black and white photograph.

Back in the day we see Salton Sea as a popular resort spot for the Los Angeles get-away crowd.

I just saw this on ebay.

"Vtg c.1910-1920 Snapshot PHOTO Los Angeles HYPERION AVENUE Hollywood, Calif."

This stretch of Hyperion looks pretty rough....even for the 1910s.

When I first looked at the snapshot, I didn't realize the family is posed around a newly installed decorative fountain. I [initially] thought it was a planter with a lone baby palm in the center.

I'm a bit surprised the family is spending their resources on a fountain when their house [far left] is still under construction. (I'm guessing that that's their house)


Here's what's written on the back.

It looks like the little girl has been eating mud pies.



Do you thinks it's possible to figure out what side street this is? (labeled in red)

It looks like there's a parallel street [to Hyperion] not too far away.

re Russ Meyer Home - 3121 Arrowhead Drive
 

Russ scooted just around the corner, and a little off-road, from Arrowhead Drive into Canyon Lake Drive to get this hilltop shot of the house for the film Beneath The Valley Of The Ultra-Vixens (1979).

Info on "Xanadu" runs thin on a cursory google--one book says the house once belonged to our own Lizabeth Scott--I imagined sapphic antics that might have preceded Meyer--but I'm not sure about her connection (a least one real estate site pictures a house that doesn't really look like the one in the b&w hanging on the wall of the "Russ Meyer Museum"--hard to tell, of course). Maybe someone can find a connection... PS There's also an amusing google item in which Kitten Natividad, whose "career skyrocketed when filmmaker Russ Meyer featured her in two bra-busting mid-’70s epics, Up! and Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens" (and who later appeared in a horny-teenager comedies, including My Tutor and The Wild Life), started out as Stella Stevens's maid--until Stella had to fire her because 12-year-old Andrew was a little too interested in the help....


Here's an excerpt from Big Bosoms and Square Jaws: The Biography of Russ Meyer, King of the Sex Film:

I think Russ' Xanadu was at 12835 Mulholland Drive. It had been the home of William Lafayette Dugger, Jr. who was for some period the fiancé of Lizabeth Scott. The 1948 main house was renovated and remodelled in 1999/2000.

This listing references Russ Meyer shooting movies in the pool which has an underground viewing chamber.

..I used to have a pool. It takes gallons and gallons of chemicals to keep a pool looking like that. Never again.

Pools are fun for most people--aqua joy at Lizabeth's house, ca 1955

Moving right along... A lucky lurker--there are many, many lurkers on NLA, which is why there are so many views on the thread--found and saved a very interesting drawing, which he has asked me to post on the thread. He sent this note to me with his request: "I have the original drawing by S.B.Z Del. It's 52"×26½" (pretty big) on paper. Found in one of the original buildings of Los Angeles Terminal Market before being demolished. You posted the LA Times picture of it from 21 August 1927. My drawing is dated 4-6-27. It was locked behind glass (dual locks) covered in dust. Couldn't make out what it was from the outside. I had it framed immediately."


I thought I might be able to paste together the images he sent me, but I'm not going to be able to make that work. Instead, I'll post each one and interested Noirishers can check out the details. Over the years, we've seen parts of the market on NLA....


First--as seen in the Times, August 21, 1927:

i.g.

Speaking of movieland pools, I've long wondered about this pool from Sullivan's Travels (1941). The extensive landscaping makes me think it's unlikely to be a set built just for one short scene...so I assume this scene was shot on location. But where? Anyone know?

I'll ask Madame, she's a native speaker.

High tide doesn't make much sense, but milmun would mean high gate(mum is gate, like Namdeamun(great south gate in Seoul)) and that would make more sense. I'll ask Madame to take a look.

The pool scenes were shot at McCrea's home
