Could this be the right Boulevard Tract? This circa 1887 map has the title: "Topographical map showing the boulevard between Los Angeles and Pasadena : Boulevard Tract, property of San Rafael Land & Water Co." http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...t.jpg~original Huntington Digital Library |

Thank you!! We've been trying to get in. We don't know if it's still there but it's the kind of detail that through the years tenants probably wondered why it was there....hopefully. :)

Absolutely stunning!! Exactly how the Wurdeman & Becket Streamline Moderne on SMB should look like!

You went to this vet??
You went to this vet? Did you go to it while it was Dr Jones' or Dr Nichols' practice?

Photo album bid
We tried bidding on that photo album but was outbid. Do you know who won it? The seller told us that the 2 albums he was selling belonged to the Jones' family!

L.A.'s Theater District
Hello all!
I was away for a week on vacation and have spent much of the rest of the time trying to get back into the swing of things. I've got a new post for you from Newswire L.A. This is a "Raul's L.A." segment where he takes us into Downtown L.A. to some of L.A. historic theaters. Along the way, we check out the old May Company, Cliftons, and LAFD Fire Station No. 28. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1HpiZep7Vk |

Noirish LA goes to the dogs...
Strongheart was originally named Etzel von Oeringen, he was trained in the style of K9 Police Dogs and assigned to the German military during WWI. A descendant of a very carefully bred line, the 125 pound dog was fearless and powerfully built.
Famous animal trainer and American director, Laurence Trimble and his screenwriter wife, Jane Murfin, began searching for a dog in Europe that could appear in motion pictures. When Trimble came across 3 year old Etzel von Oeringen in 1920, he knew he found what he was looking for. He appeared in seven movies....most were filmed in Hollywood or nearby mountains.

Some Bert Rovere/Paris Inn items from eBay which I think are new to NLA.
"Candid Camera Souvenir" postcard which the seller dates as circa 1940s (another seller has the same card with a 1946 postmark). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ertRovere1.jpg eBay This one is supposedly from the 1950s. It's the full version of the picture which appears in the center of the bottom row on the postcard above, although one of them has been mirrored. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ertRovere2.jpg http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ertRovere3.jpg eBay And something a little different. It's described as a "Vernon Kilns collector plate" and dated at 1926. Are there any musicians out there who can play the tune around the rim? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original eBay |
