The issue of the later editions of the Pactel directory omitting almost all of West L.A. and Palms is a different issue, and a very frustrating one for those wanting to research the history anywhere outside the pre-war urban core. Those areas aren't "missing", instead, the publishers left them out deliberately. *Both in BHPO 90210. |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...910/0vyOH2.jpg eBay I guess it was the dimensions of the graphic and the two toned dress that made me think of 'Glen or Glenda'. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/zZIIBR.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/907/zZIIBR.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://wrongsideoftheart.com/2009/07...ives-1953-usa/ _ |

Re that Band Box album cover w/ Billy Gray dressed as a baby. Gray famously provided the voice of the baby on Eddie Cantor's radio show. PS: Billy played agent Sig Poliakoff in "Some Like it Hot" (1959): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V...0%252520AM.jpg His hilarious exchange with our heroes is here |

I happened across this photograph on a car aficionado website called blog.hemmings.
They tagged it as only as California, but I am sure this is the Farmers Market (you can even see a glimpse of Park LaBrea Apartments in the distance on the right) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...908/cpzLzo.jpg http://blog.hemmings.com/ The reason I'm posting it is because of that smokestack spewing the dark smoke. cough* In all the photos of the Farmers Market I have never noticed that smokestack. It's bugging me to no end. __ |

The comments under the post on the Hemmings site contain a link to the uncropped slide on eBay. The seller has scribbled the red text across it. They describe it as "1960s", and mention McCall's California Gas Kitchen on the right. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...t.jpg~original eBay Here's the other side of McCall's California Gas Kitchen. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...GasKitchen.jpg www.gogomag.com |
According to lafire.com, Engine Company No 38 at 124 East I Street, Wilmington opened on December 31, 1948. Julius Shulman was there in 1949. This is "Job 614: Matcham and Heitschmidt, Fire Station No. 38 (Los Angeles, Calif.),1949".
