:previous: ;) glad to be of service.
I never knew about this garden Martin! -glad you told us about it. Quote:
I tried to find the garden using google-earth but I wasn't able to spot it-- until I noticed the steps in the pic below. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/vyGaN0.jpg Urban Gardens Web I believe I just found those steps. (note how overgrown the area is compared to the pic above) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/rzkEUF.jpg google earth detail here's a wider view http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/aR0GKF.jpg google_earth Is this the right spot?

_ "Yee Mee Loo's bar, the actual counter--known as the Kwan Yin bar, after the Chinese goddess of compassion--survived. Much of the gilding on the bar has worn away, but it still boasts its original silk panels, its tile and lanterns and its statues of the eight immortals of Chinese lore. I wonder who snagged the clock with the reversed numbers? |

Mission Revival Kiosk
Quote:
For a refresher, I looked up Mission Revival architecture at wikipedia and it says that the style was most popular between 1890 and 1915 and an example from 1894 is the Burlingame Train Station south of San Francisco. Comparing the Burlingame Station and the L.A. Examiner kiosk - the general look and style seems pretty similar to me - especially the windows. Just sayin.' http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/MRLFRw.jpg Burlingame, Ca. Train Depot, 1894 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...7-27-36_PM.JPG And by the way Ethereal, your sleuthing deserves a bravo. Also, the person in the kiosk doesn't look like a woman to me. Looks like a young, slim guy in some kind of turtleneck pullover or sweater. Again, just sayin.' |

I'm still curious as to what the structures behind the office are. Cheers, Earl |

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show? . |

The LA City Council members also were totally enthusiastic about giving the LA Dodgers [a private company] a new home.....at taxpayers expense. Today that site sits unused for most of the year...a wasteland parking lot. |

Yes, that seems to be the correct location. Here's a 2012 Google Image of the area. THings look alot greener, before several years of heavy drought and water restrictions. Also, in your above photo, it looks like they're doing something, maybe, in Parking Lot #5. https://urbdp598.files.wordpress.com...um-parking.jpgGoogle maps https://www.barrystickets.com/blog/w...iumparking.jpgDaily Sports Pages |

But I do stand by my statement that its parking lots create a huge heat island. And, I wish the stadium was better connected with public transportation and with the rest of its surroundings. It was obviously built in an era when it was assumed that everyone would get to it by driving there themselves. |

I don't know if Martin's 'blue drink' was a sly reference to our YML discussion or just a coincidence. __ since you brought it up. :) Several people on the tiki blog have said "Yee Mee Loo" literally means "Blue Drink". http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/46ngRu.jpg tikiroom I don't know Chinese...but I doubt it. Any translators here? ;) __ |

What confused me was: "Gift of Mr. W. S. Clark January, 1917." What is this date? __ fyi I'm still trying to figure out the location. While looking through early photographs of Long Beach amusement areas, this kiosk on the Silver Spray Pier caught my eye. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/GF5MSQ.jpg As you can see an attempt was made to include architectural elements. (it brought to mind the Examiner kiosk) --of course the Los Angeles Examiner kiosk is a much more substantial structure. Here's the whole postcard: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/kKzt2O.jpg "The Racing Coaster and Silver Spray Pier, Long Beach California" |
