Clang Clang Clang I never rode LA's street cars, but I always assumed even a little slice of it was worth keeping, and I am not referring specifically to Angel's Flight. Much the same as I view old cars, planes and horse drawn carriages. They are charming anachronisms that also serve a utilitarian purpose, however uncomfortable and inconvenient. They clearly never appealed to everyone and never did. I applaud San Francisco and Memphis, etc. for keeping the charm alive or attempting to revive it. On that note, San Francisco probably has the most collective experience with street [cable] cars and that system is far from perfect. I've never explored the aspect of San Francisco pedestrian/rider safety, but the ridership seems undeterred. I like my car, but if I can't drive it far or fast due to Manhattan traffic . . . may as well make my garage a private museum. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/geEmqRxm5No/hqdefault.jpghttp://i.ytimg.com/vi/geEmqRxm5No/hqdefault.jpg And for something different Is there any doubt that this where pumping equipment is for MWD?

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/x4nk8m.jpg http://images.wisconsinhistory.org/7...22000248-l.jpg Tourmaline, I found these photos from 1916, but no address. (the fence is the same as in your photograph above, but it doesn't show such a grand entrance) "David Horsley's Motion Pictures and Bostock Jungle Film Co." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/Pvl4oR.jpg Bruce Torrence at http://hollywoodphotographs.com/deta...studios-in-la/ below: I think the grand entryway shown in Tourmaline's photograph is visible down the street (above the streetcar). http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/fpNml1.jpg Bruce Torrence at http://hollywoodphotographs.com/deta...ilm-costudios/ Does anyone recognize the large apartment building down the street? __ |

Unrelated or not? I have seen references to Jungle Film Studio at 1720 N Soto, which coincidentally is close to Lincoln Park and Selig Zoo at 3800 Mission Rd. But it is unclear that this is related to Bostock, unless Bostock had more than one location. The 1915CD lists an employee/co-owner of E & R Jungle Film Co., Joseph S Edwards, but not JF address. Now that "quick-on-the-draw" HossC has provided Bostock's 1919 S Main location, I would have expected to see more photos. Notice in the bottom photo the name is painted on a roof. Visible from a distance? By 1923, per the '23CD, the same location is Joseph Steinberg's Used Cars. From IMDB Quote:

A photo taken to mark the arrival of David and William Horsley in Los Angeles, 1911. William is on the left, dressed in a gray coat. David is the mustached man on the right,
in the black coat and derby. Noticed that his left coat sleeve is empty; he lost his arm in an accident as a boy. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...913/jfKo77.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/FAYcIn.jpg http://sensesofcinema.com/ I just found out at another site that the young boy with the camera is David's son, and that Al Christie is over David Horsley's right shoulder. __ |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/V63rGN.jpg old file / of mine I believe the streetcar is on Hollywood Blvd., and the cars are on Sunset. (unless it's the other way around) duh. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...905/hgyqL0.jpg gsv :previous: I've been trying to re-create the same view via the google-mobile.

Here's a LARGER version of a newspaper clipping I posted back in 2013.
