Ginger's house has a lot more company now it appears!
AMPAS has some home movie footage of her lounging around her pool up there on the hill. (Color footage.) Occasionally they have a "Hollywood Home Movies" night and show all kinds of rare footage like this. If I recall correctly, the footage was from the 1940's. |

Hoss-- I poked around, thinking that maybe it was demo'ed for seismic reason...which it may have been, if it wasn't just torn down for new development. Apparently there was a plan for a 222-unit apartment complex on the site in the mid-'80s, but neighbors and the LA school district got it killed; there was, it seems, severe overcrowding in northeast L.A. schools at the time. So maybe the city should have turned Monte Sano into a school? https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-i...2520PM.bmp.jpgLAT March 6, 1986 |

"M" is a treat for fans of Norish LA. It also makes great use of the Bradbury Building, Angels Flight and the 3rd Street Tunnel. |

I may have seen him in person more than once, but I do remember him in the stage show, with Ann Miller, of Sugar Babies, at the Pantages. Oh, yeah, I saw him there about ten years ago as the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz, too! http://psiqueland.files.wordpress.co...ntages043x.jpg http://psiqueland.files.wordpress.co...ntages043x.jpg |

P.S.: If you have any stories or reminiscences about living in Hollywood in the 1940's, I'm sure we'd all be interested if you wanted to share them. |
Monte Sano Hospital
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/534/9pe2.jpgoriginally posted by GW Quote:
...but short sighted bureaucrats seldom think in these terms. Look what they did with the Ambassador Hotel. :( __ below: Monte Sano Hospital even had it's own railway stop. Here it is pictured in 1955. Note the tiny Monte Sano sign on the utility pole. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/834/jia7.jpg http://www.railpictures.net/viewphot...=276734&nseq=0 It was the last trolley stop before crossing Riverside Drive and the Los Angeles River. The station closed in 1955, the Riverside Viaduct at Monte Sano was dismantled in 1959 (the same year the nearby Fletcher Viaduct was dismantled). In the above 1955 photograph notice the balustrade at far left. The balustrade (and stairs) were left to deteriorate for over 30 years! 1987 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/854/6fzl.jpg Paul Ayers 1987. http://redcarproperty.blogspot.com/s...l/Monte%20Sano 1987 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...0/812/j3q9.jpg Paul Ayers 1987. http://redcarproperty.blogspot.com/s...l/Monte%20Sano The stairs pictured, descended down to Riverside Drive from the trolley stop. It appears the railway was located midway between Riverside Drive and Monte Sano Hospital. I wonder if there were additional stairs leading up to the hospital? __ |

I don't recall seeing the Sun Set Inn on NLA.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...0/822/fnel.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320...0/849/w8ir.jpg The seller didn't include the address (which was prob. on the back of the card) __ |
There was a gOOgie's similar to the one on Sunset Blvd. in the San Carlos Hotel downtown.
NW corner of 5th & Olive. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/LdrY5E.jpg no date/ebay Notice how the g00gie's exhaust duct slithers up the front of the hotel. -at least it's painted the same color as the building- __ |
