Clarido Hotel seems to have been conveniently located near a laundry somewhere in DTLA, but where?

LAPL has added a load of extra City Directories to its archive, including early ones from Hollywood City, San Pedro City, Santa Monica City, Watts City, San Fernando Valley City and Westwood Hills City. I haven't had a chance to explore them yet, but it can only be good news.
Here's a screengrab to whet your appetites :). The address, as always: rescarta.lapl.org http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...s.jpg~original |
Convenient...

The Hotel Clinton looks nice also. It probably doesn't cost an arm and a leg to stay there either. |

Re: The Waldorf Cellar
http://ussslcca25.com/img-sm-pic/170-sm-pic.jpg http://ussslcca25.com/assoc_photos-09.htm#top A site dedicated to the U.S.S. Salt Lake City has this very small interior photo labeled: 1943-45 at the "Waldorf Cellar" 521 S. Main Street, Los Angeles, CA. The #’s correspond to the names of the sailors listed on the site. |

Thanks CBD about the info on Cooper's Do-nuts raid. I didn't know about that.
http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/...perDo-nuts.png image source: Stephen Seemayer and Pamela Wilson's film, Young Turks This Amoeba blog post talks about those events: http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2013/06/eric-s-blog.html Quote:
Other locations mentioned in the blog article: "Some of Main St.'s establishments continued to operate as theaters like the Optic Theatre (533 S. Main). Main St. and the surrounding area was also home to several clubs and bars popular with gays like the Biltmore, the Brass Rail, the Cellar (521 S. Main), the Crown Jewel (754 S. Olive), Harold's 555 Club (555 S. Main), Jolie's, Maxwell's, the Numbers, the 326 (326 S. Spring), the Waldorf, and the Burbank (548 S. Main), which featured Jazz, and burlesque, etc. There were also numerous small eateries, one of which was Cooper's Do-nuts, a 24 hour coffee and donut spot popular with a clientele comprised in part of multiracial trans and hustlers. The network of hangouts came to be known as 'The Run'." So...these places were around The Rosslyn Hotel... The Harold's establishment mentioned above and in the last couple pages at 555 S. Main St. is seen in the following undated photo: http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/...#39;s1950s.jpg http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2013/06/eric-s-blog.html |

Street parking in L.A. is getting real tough
This sign went up on San Vicente Blvd in Brentwood
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps2b200100.jpg http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/...-in-brentwood/ OK, it's a mistake. It was supposed to read one hour, but you have to wonder how many people looked at the sign before it went up. |
Here's another later (1960's?) photo showing Harold's. The jeweler's street clock has been removed...and there's NO traffic! (Must be that "one minute" parking!)
