:previous: You found the sign Beaudry....that's fantastic! I had no idea that was a giant fez on top.
Here's another billboard centric photograph. What mostly caught my eye was the cabin-like greasy spoon called 'The Corner'. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/UB8PSe.jpg www.corbisimages.com I'm still driving the google-mobile around trying to figure out which corner this is. (there's also a liquor store....you can see the blade sign by the stoplight) -it's obviously in the vicinity of the old Republic Studios. __ |
It probably goes without saying at the moment that I've omitted some images from this Julius Shulman photoset. It's "Job 1654: Jones and Emmons, Sascha Brastoff's Ceramics (Los Angeles, Calif.),1954".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Here's the structure at the right of the picture above. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Initially, I didn't realize that the wall with the name on it was at the end of a section that floated on narrow supports. This is a detail view from the side. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Now we get to see the factory, complete with stairs to the observation platform. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original The observation platform turned out to be smaller than I expected. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original There are plenty of examples of Sascha Brastoff's work online. This shot shows a display area with some ceramic pieces. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Unfortunately, this is the only color image in the set. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original I'll finish the Shulman photos with this shot looking over the outdoor display area. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Here's the building permit for the slightly later addition of a new sales office. As you can see, the address was 11520 W Olympic Boulevard. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...9.jpg~original Online Building Records I can't see a demo permit, but there was an application to use the site as a Christmas tree lot in 1980. The current building (below), with the address 11500 W Olympic Boulevard, seems to have been built in 1981. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...0.jpg~original GSV |

Hmmm... I've lived in Manhattan since 1978, the year the pooper-scooper law went into effect. No dogsh%# problem here. NY is cleaner than ever. |
The Earl Carroll Vanities and Moulin Rouge in the mid-to late '60s became the Hullabaloo and Kaleidoscope music venues -where many notable bands played - and later the Aquarius Theatre where the stage play Hair played - with Jennifer Warren in a lead role. The Fool painted the Aquarius in its distinctive style.
Here's a link to The Fool's work, including the Aquarius: http://www.maryke.com/about.php |
Slauson Slim, I was going to ask you if you knew anything about a place called Maverick Flats.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/MroTGN.jpg https://www.tumblr.com/search/los%20angeles%20clubs Just before posting I thought I'd check out the address; lo and behold the place is still there and still in business! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...921/Q44Ycl.jpg gsv It's just a few doors down from the old Bank of America we discussed a while back the red arrow points to Maverick Flat's sign http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/zpWAbe.jpg gsv *We still haven't found a photo of when it was an actual B of A.:previous: __ |

Does anyone know when the Earl Carroll Theater was affiliated with CBS? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/upbqnr.jpg old file of mine *we might have seen several of these images on NLA in the past. __ |

Oh wait, now I remember. He was talking about a different Velma, the sexy one......the sister. ;) Not this vision in ruffled taffeta. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/Xunzsb.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=5682 From way back on [page 252] Don't forget the videos! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/3G6Udc.jpg CLICK HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH4m4g3MOAQ :previous: -watch Miss Velma drive her mini-bus up that ramp like a bat-outta-Hell. lol http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/hjVqtk.jpg CLICK HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoN9MeKI0tk :previous: She dangles from a wire in this one! "In my brief venture into the land of Miss Velma I was unable to come up with a photograph of the actual Universal World Church. This seems a bit strange since the building had to be HUGE to hold all her props, her ego, and that three and a half ton tree of life." 12/28/2011 Thanks for refreshing my Little Velma memories Earl. I had forgotten all about her. __ |

Here are the Langdon and Wilson Offices, sandwiched between the Gaylord Apartments and the Mona Lisa Restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard. See more about the Mona Lisa in GW's recent post #33783. It's Julius Shulman's "Job 4368: Langdon and Wilson, Langdon and Wilson Offices (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1968".
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original I've mixed the color and black & white images together, but left out duplicates and the arty exterior shots. The next two photos show the reception area. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original Now back to color for this view of a corridor. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original It's a shame they didn't have wooden ceilings - these offices just aren't brown enough ;). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original At least they have pretty good views. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original Anyone recognize the model on the right? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original They seem to be discussing the same model here. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...8.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Sadly (as discussed in GW's post), the Mona Lisa building has gone, but the rest of the immediate view hasn't changed much. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...9.jpg~original GSV |
