That's an amazing photo! Do you know the history of the building? Mystery location from eBay: https://i.imgur.com/LudU97Y.png?1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/sl09-Origin...7f3a%7Ciid%3A1 The title says Gardena but I'm not sure about that. The area looks a little too hilly. The streetlights are cool but I don't think Gardena ever had that style. The location could be just outside city limits though. |

If only we could turn those two street/traffic signs around! If it's the same location as the phone number on the sign, OV-60791, the OV exchange is in Montebello. (OV = Overbrook) Per: Old Telephone Exchange Names / Los Angeles County http://www.laalmanac.com/communications/cm01e.php |

True. I think all old photographs should be like Google Street View. |

Getty/Ed Ruscha Ruscha caught the black coupe turning right onto Sunset Blvd. from N. McCadden Pl. in 1966. I consider myself a fair-to-middling car guy but this one has got me stumped.... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...shot_(915).png |

:previous: Very cool car, riichkay. Here's an interesting photograph that just turned up on eBay "Original photo, Bernardine Blackburn diving in Los Angeles/Hotel Ambassador 1922." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Rk8gmc.jpg eBay I found it difficult to believe that this shoddy looking pool is the pool at the renowned Ambassador Hotel. . . . . .that is, until I spotted the same lamps and hanging lights in this postcard. (below) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/r8VG7s.jpg Bizarrelosangeles I found some scraps of information that pointed to a Water Carnival held in Los Angeles in 1922. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/mbcurG.jpg but I don't have a subscription to the L.A. Times :( Let's take a closer look at little Bernardine. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/86ClEP.jpg detail Hmmm. . .I wonder if she was related to notorious cult leader, May Otis Blackburn?

Thank you for your warm welcome. I've been on Noirish Los Angeles 2 years now. I am frequently amazed by the breath and depth of knowledge of the posters here including you. Noirishers have an incredible ability to see the smallest details in a photo. Amazing. I remember you said Wyan wanted your dad to draw up a quit claim against Wyan's own mother. Wyan was a great marketer, though. Lots of good "gimmicks". My family would rarely go there in the mid 1960's when Marriott owned Big Boy. |

Merry (waning hours of) Christmas in return, e-r! Intertoobz say that Thunder Mountain was released in June 1947. I'm guessing that the young lady is waiting for the PE Hollywood Blvd. streetcar in the center of the frame to get a bit closer before she steps into the dreaded safety zone to board. But there also were bus lines on the boulevard, so I can't say for sure. |

Thanks Martin. A great picture to restore our flagging spirits! |

Mr Wyan [Founder of Bob's restaurants.] wanted to appropriate his mother's home. My dad refused to help him do that. We never went to Bob's again after that. |

This original slide from the 1940s was recently listed on eBay The seller doesn't name the location (other than Los Angeles). . .but I'm pretty sure this is the oil well that once stood in the middle of La Cienega Blvd. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/gL0hOM.jpg eBay Whatta' ya think? Is this the La Cienega oil well? :shrug: As a reminder: The oil well on La Cienega. HERE If you're like me, you would like to see the billboard close-up. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/TnsJg1.jpg ..TWA "Fastest Flights East".. . |
