Not Wanger's noirish moment-- that would come later when he shot his next wife Joan Bennett's lover in the crotch (see post 2426)-- but interesting still: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m...2520PM.bmp.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j...2520PM.bmp.jpgLAT June 8, 1935 |

OK, what was the sports car in the Sabrina shot. Driving me nuts :-)

I realize we've seen this same view before on NLA, but not this particular slide with the late-afternoon shadows and light.

I should probably know what we're looking at here, but I can't place it at the moment. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/75Ce7J.jpg eBay Is the large building on the hillside a school? and I'm curious to see if the building with the white cupola is still there. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/HOUobH.jpg detail __ |

Here are two amateur snapshots that I believe were taken in the same area.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/P9rXfr.jpg eBay Even though this second photograph has a different tint I think it's the same area because we're seeing the edge of the same building (far right above, far left below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...921/n1zN64.jpg eBay Does anyone recognize where this is? __ |
Does anyone recognize where this is?
I believe that this is an inbound Watts Local car turning from E. 9th St. onto San Pedro St. |
I should probably know what we're looking at here, but I can't place it at the moment.
We're looking outbound on the Hollywood Freeway, with the photo apparently having been taken from the Rosemont Ave. overcrossing. Until I can make Google Maps behave, I can't help with the other questions. |
Great photos ER of old Japan and some more of Moscow 1960s.

Okay, I'm confused: What year is the route map from? I take Public Transit frequently and I don't recognize any of those numbers on it as bus lines on the lines I'm familiar with. (This has #42 on Sunset Blvd.? #217 has been on Fairfax Ave. as long as I can remember etc., for example. Before many lines were renumbered in the early '80's.) It also doesn't seem to jive with this "Discontinued RTD/MTA Lines" page on wiki, which has bus line #42: 42/42A - Martin Luther King Jr., Boulevard - Stocker Street - La Tijera Boulevard Line 42/42A was cancelled in June 2012; replaced by Lines 40, 102 and the Metro Expo Line. Line 42A was a short line route while line 42 was a regular line. This page has all the stops listed: http://www.lifeinus.com/Transportati...fm?RouteID=593 IIRC (without looking it up, as its getting past my bedtime), the Fairfax Ave. line was designated Line 83 by Los Angeles Motor Coach in the 1930s and remained so until the early 1980s renumbering by SCRTD. The bus stops wiki appears to have been based on the post-renumbering line designations. Best I can do for now. |

Our other clue is that the Norton Building (601-07 S. Broadway) appears at the left of the first photo, so I think we'd have to be looking due east on 6th St. (from the north side of the street) to get the Eastern Columbia building to be on our right. We have to be on the north side of 6th St. to get the viewing angle of the Norton Building to expose the west wall with the signage, presumably facing Lindley Pl. and the rear of the Los Angeles Theater. Except that... - The west wall of the Norton Building doesn't look to me as though it has the correct height or window placement to accommodate the signage we see; and - I think our viewpoint would have to be the top of the Pacific Mutual Building, because Pershing Square takes up the block between Hill and Olive Sts.; and - A quick check on Google Earth suggests that the only rooftop parking in the neighborhood is at 625 S. Hill St., but the garage is much too new and the viewing angle is toward St. Vincent Ct. instead of 6th St.; and - Finally, the extant buildings on the south side of 6th St. (between us and the Norton Building signs) don't seem to resemble the ones in the photograph. Not sure what I'm missing, but it must be a lot! |

No ER that's the old scout house 2333 Scout Way! they tore down the building in about 06...I own the phone booth that was in it...It cost me 5 bucks plus 350 in shipping it out to Dallas. |

It's across the street from the Cornell Buildings. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original GSV The bus terminus in e_r's picture is long gone, but you could get the same view from the roof of the bus station which replaced it.
