Taking a leaf from another book? Another interesting Doctors' Office discovered while searching for :previous:. Source indicates "Los Angeles, Calif. : Mott Studios, [1937]" and author "Howard, Elwell G." No address. Can discern 4 digit street number but not much more. http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...6Y6VHLJQ9L.jpg http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...NSYIG3L3PH.jpg http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...PAH8MA2I93.jpg http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...S1BN89QIST.jpg http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...2V1YLKUN8H.jpg All from C.St.Lib |

Only a guess that the cover-up was in the interest of "modernization" which evidently occurred within 10 short years. (Name change to Lockheed in 1940?) http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...UJLQRQCL7N.jpg C.St.Lib |
Great photo.
Sadly the link brought me to the Wiki page, and this: "There has been a series of studies conducted to assess and improve the management of the Arroyo Seco Watershed-- Arroyo Seco Watershed Restoration Feasibility Study - 2002 US Army Corps of Engineers Arroyo Seco Watershed Reconnaissance Study - 2002 Pasadena Arroyo Seco Master Plan & EIR - 2003 Angeles National Forest Master Plan - US Forest Service - 2005 Arroyo Seco Watershed Coordination Program (Arroyo Seco Foundation) - 2004 Arroyo Seco Parkway Corridor Management Plan - 2004 USACE Arroyo Seco Watershed Feasibility Study - 2005 Arroyo Seco Watershed Management and Restoration Study (North East Trees) - 2006 Central Arroyo Stream Restoration Program - 2007–2008 Arroyo Seco Watershed Sustainability Program - 2007–2010 Fish Restoration in the Arroyo Seco - 2008 Arroyo Seco Watershed Assessment - 2010 :slob: Quote:

Bearing in mind that Halloween is approaching, there is an "interesting" "illustrated" writeup on the Devil's Gate/Dam and the Colorado Street Bridge here:http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...ct-and-fiction http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Xg3gfcQ_x...l%27s_gate.jpghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PCmend8WBd...s_Gate_Dam.jpg One of seven portals to hell? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R89O2Hc9_L...vilsgate01.jpg |
I was just ready to post this...and you beat me to it.
http://imageshack.us/a/img12/3035/sgatbrrssp.jpg It looks like they turned the Devil into a pig snouted, pointy eared Troll from Hell. http://imageshack.us/a/img707/4778/p...925postmar.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img528/5786/aadevilsgatewp.jpg So what about the mountain that appears behind the 'devil's profile' in the pre-dam photo? It seems to be missing in the dam photos. Did they level it? ______ I also wonder what this is. http://imageshack.us/a/img38/3654/aadevilsgate1.jpg __ |

Sorry about that.:ahhh: I can't resist one more brush with the macabre. Looked at the '29 map below, and of course it mentions Noah Berry's Trout Club (A-4) but not one mention of the Devil or his gate. Still, my eye is drawn "Kelly Airpt" (K-6) - about an inch east of Mines Field. Maybe it is the artist's poetic license (Herbert E. Florecky) or my poor eyesight, but is it fair to infer that Kelly's air safety record was . . . problematic or possibly less-than-exemplary? (Either that or Gould Lane could be an unlucky place to park!):koko: 1929 http://jpg1.lapl.org/maps/lg//MAP_0030.jpgLAPL 1959 Trout fisherman from Sun Valley with devilish expression and his whopper http://jpg1.lapl.org/00083/00083918.jpgLapl |
:previous: I love that map. The other day while watching a silent film, I spotted one of the obscure tourist spots. I'll have to post.

Regarding THE '29 amusement map, I have wondered about a few of the places listed in the sunset strip enlargement (upper right hand area). In particular, I understand La Boheme Cafe was later renamed Billy Wilkerson's Trocadero Nightclub, 8610 Sunset Boulevard I have not seen any mention or depiction of the Moscow Inn. It is not in the '29 directory. And I wonder what was being served in these hotspots, considering the existence of Prohibition.

So many great new posts--struggling to keep up. As for this map--interesting to me is that there is reference to Windsor Square but not the newer Hancock Park--nowadays the HP name is generally used for the whole area. I won't start a riot over it, but I'm for preserving Windsor Square as a distinct neighborhood. Also, the long-gone Midwick Country Club we've seen here before is shown prominently to the east... and Jackie Coogan's house is indicated. I thought we'd also seen it on the thread before, but I couldn't find it. Anyway, it was at 673 S Oxford, off Wilshire. Gone now-- https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6...2520AM.bmp.jpgZilf The Coogan house, ca. 1929. |
