'mystery' location.
"Original Negative Los Angeles 1955 Ford Victoria" http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/GMDJy2.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orig-photo-n...IAAOSwTuJYpQUy That unique 'lantern' style street light is a pretty good clue. If I remember correctly we visited an area with similar street lights on NLA. |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/5DaSqT.jpg publicity brochure Thanks ProphetM, that's the area I was vaguely remembering but I couldn't recall the name. Here's my first post on the Dana Point 'Lantern' street lights. http://www.skyscraperpage.com/forum/...ostcount=31384 And a follow up by tovangar2 http://www.skyscraperpage.com/forum/...ostcount=31396 The lanterns were of various colors. Green Blue Ruby Amber Violet Golden Silver Copper Crystal Of course none of this helps pinpoint the exact location of the 'mystery' photograph. __ update: 11:02 PM I just looked at the lantern in the mystery pic again, and I see it isn't a 100% match. :( http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/uEG8ag.jpg detail http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/BG5lgP.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...921/ZpbPvu.jpg Back to square one? __ |

I wonder if, in the 1950's-60's, Robinson's sponsored modern sculptural art at their new stores. I grew up near the Robinson's at the old incarnation of Anaheim Plaza and it had a 30-foot fountain outside I could best describe as an arthritic noble pine. In hindsight, it was hideous, but it one hell of a cool racket when the fountain was turned on. |

I believe this is the fountain you're talking about, right Mstimc? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/spCoK7.jpg http://thesunshinegrove.blogspot.com...1_archive.html It's still there, hidden behind a Rubio's. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/VeoNz9.jpggoogle Luckily, the google-mobile took a spin through the back parking lot. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/OiRkJZ.jpg gsv Alas, it no longer functions as a fountain :(, and that's a darn shame. __ George Tsutakawa 1963 |

An early (1927) neon sign gets re-lit today at its original site, 1901 W 6th, next door to the Barbizon.

Hi ER and Prophet, First-time poster, long-time follower here. Thought I'd chime is as I'm fairly certain that the Ford Victoria photo is in the 'pier bowl' area of San Clemente (just a little further south than Dana Point).
GSV link: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4209...8i6656!6m1!1e1 Though the neighborhood is much more developed these days, the curve and slope of that street are the same - giving me a sort of 'uncanny valley' response as those streets are imprinted in my childhood memories. I'm too young to have ever seen those light poles, but a quick look on the San Clemente historical society website shows identical lights up on El Camino Real/old PCH. http://sanclementehistoricalsociety....03/cover_1.jpg Link: http://sanclementehistoricalsociety....03/cover_1.jpg The real tip-off is the sidewalk - San Clemente is the only city I know of that paved their sidewalks in rectangular terracotta tiles, which the image shows if you look closely. The CA coastal records project shows a less developed area in 1972. I believe the tree we see on the corner is the one across the street from the middle of the large parking lot in the 1972 aerial. http://www.californiacoastline.org/c...gs=0&year=1972 Link: http://www.californiacoastline.org/c...gs=0&year=1972 |

Thanks to e_r for the pictures of the old Belmont Theater. I didn't have a chance to research the building's history. Also, thanks to odinthor for your memories of Ben-Hur at the Belmont.
----------------- Today's Julius Shulman post shows what could have happened to the Farmers Market. It's "Job 6242: Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Farmers Market Development Study - model, 1984". I'm posting all three of the color images, there are also 14 black & white ones from different angles. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original It looks like CBS Television City was due to get a new southern entrance. The building on the right had a rooftop pool and tennis courts. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original I'll finish with this angled view. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute I'm sure we're all familiar with how the site looks today, but here's a reminder. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Google Maps |
