The Los Angeles Free Press, also called "The Freep", was among the most widely distributed underground newspapers of the 1960s. It is often cited as the first such newspaper. The Free Press was edited and published weekly, for most of its existence, by Art Kunkin From 1964 till 1978 The FP was THE newspaper that was read by everyone who considered themselves even slightly hip. If you wanted to know what was ''happening " in LA.....read that paper. The weekly print run was only 90,000 copies. https://www.afka.net/images/Magazine...2001_small.jpg ZBimage You mention Love's restaurant. Good food but microscopic portions. To get any food, you had to order two meals for each person. |

You're talking about the rectangular lights with five translucent red stars on each side, right?

So, I guess these are the streetlights Tarantino went with in the movie? https://i.postimg.cc/pTD4mYJb/pussycat.png laist.com |
If one wanted perfect detail in these scenes you'd have to alter or remove all these trees, too.
Screencaps: (LINK) https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hocas_6Aq...ATime-T2-5.jpg https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0mtMSw4hm...ATime-TT-2.jpg They did remove the structures now behind the Cinerama Dome: https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rv8ylPz2x...ATime-T2-7.jpg Quote:

I don't know when they went away but I distinctly remember seeing them in the mid 90s. Those lights are indelibly seared into my memory. |

As for being the same version released now that was shown at Cannes, not quite. In that Anne Thompson article (right after the Cannes screening) quoting Tarantino saying everyone had scenes cut...he mentions one that he cut of Leonardo's in which he is in The Great Escape film. Well, that scene IS in the actual release. Whether anything else is different in it I don't know, but this might explain why reviews written right after the Cannes screening say the film runs 2 hrs. 19 mins. and reviews for the July release say it is 2 hrs. 21 mins. I'm told Tarantino doesn't add deleted scenes and such to his media releases. Is that true? Personally, I'd like to see that 4 hr. and 20 min. cut, or at least what was cut out. |

I have a different memory of Love's. A good sized tuna sandwich on a hamburger bun with barbecue sauce and French fries, serviced in a red plastic basket. There was a bar in the back, which could be entered from the rear of the restaurant or from a side door on Cherokee. I spent many hours watching the Watergate Hearings at that bar. Musso & Frank had a better bar across Cherokee, but no TV. http://www.mussoandfrankgrill.com/ |

You reminded me that in 1959 there was a midnight Halloween movie showing at the Iris Theatre. My mother gave me a note to carry in case I was stopped for being out after curfew. It said, "My son has my permission to attend the midnight movie." Image how far we have come in 60 years. Another mass shooting today in El Paso and last week in Gilroy. What mother today would allow her young child to wander the streets of Hollywood at midnight? |
This closeup of a Hollywood Boulevard 'shoe box' streetlight is from the AARoads forum.

The following two [original] photographs are new to NLA. (I checked)
The first one is of the William C. Carr real estate office in the Ridgewood development. Photographer stamp on back: H.A. Varble, Eagle Rock. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/iVLUKe.jpg eBay Fantastic photograph! The second photo is shot of one of the houses; note the lower floor. Photographer stamp on back: H.A. Varble, Eagle Rock. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/CjVGeb.jpg eBay You know me, folks. I can't resist a good close-up. :) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/ubBQHW.jpg DETAL I was hoping to see Mr. Carr inside. :hi: I've gone through all the posts where 'Ridgewood' is mentioned...most are about the search for the location of the Ridgewood Military Academy. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...od#post7344028.....NoirCityDame http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...od#post7344822.....Martin Pal http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...od#post7345813.....HossC . |

As bright as the shoebox lights were, supposedly they lit the street more than the sidewalks. This is why they also added teardrop lamps that hang over the sidewalk, too, supposedly to cut down on crime by lighting the sidewalk better, at least according to an article I read back then in the LA Times. And the red stars on the shoebox lights were indeed supposed to light up; maybe they did at one time, but the wiring had probably deteriorated. |

Nope, it's the logo for the Keuffel & Esser Co., maker of slide rules and other science and engineering related instruments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keuffel_and_Esser Per the 1968 City Directory, their L.A. office was at 1327 S. Olive St., one door north of LAFD Engine Company No. 10 which remains today. |

While looking into the 6.35-acre pine forest once at the corner of Adams and Western, I've come across an urban remnant that apparently has been in place since the Irving Ingraham house was completed in 1898--reminiscent of the bit of wall at the northwest corner of Wilshire and Lucas, a reminder of the Shatto house up that hill that we've seen here on NLA before. Ingraham's money came from the Connecticut clockworks...he and his Austrian-born wife, Anna, planted the short-lived pine forest perhaps to remind her of home. Surprisingly little imagery of the property survives, but when I went google-driving I noticed this arroyo-stone wall extending from Manhattan Place (cut through the property circa 1924) west to the Ingrahams' property line.... My story on 2000 West Adams Street is here: https://adamsboulevardlosangeles.blo...-also-see.html Dinner for you and 25 of your best friends at Romanoff's for anyone who can find a picture--photograph, drawing--of the house, described as being in the "Swiss style," once at the top of the Manhattan Place hill. |

Tarantino went with the 2005 twin teardrops, but this one most likely would have been out of camera view. QT's team has rigged a couple of production lights between the two teardrop luminaires. Probably to give some illumination to the recreated storefronts for the night shots. |

Not only do I know this light, but I know THIS light. It belongs to Jim Terry of Washington state. Interesting that his photo made its way to NLA! https://www.flickr.com/photos/134097...in/dateposted/ Another photo from the Jim Terry collection. Note the back of the star, barely visible at the 11 o'clock position. For some perverse reason, my image posts to NLA have been unsuccessful of late. But the link will take you to the Flicker hosted photo. Is anyone else having problems with Flicker hosted photos? https://www.flickr.com/photos/134097...in/dateposted/ |

Maybe at even a short distance these stars just blurred together with the larger lights and weren't noticeable unless you were on top of them. This photo below seems to show them lit up in the nearest lights. As they recede they aren't at all noticeable. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_eeV8-UwAAQ-PU.jpg For all the times I was on Hollywood Blvd. when those lights were there, I do recall the red stars on those light fixtures, but my memory of them is in daylight hours. The clock above says it's 9:30 p.m. -- "...do you know where your children are?" Remember those ads? Quote:
Midnight? I'd say midnight in any decade I would not allow it! Heh! Whatever happened to bedtimes for school age kids, and by school age I mean up through 12th grade? When I was growing up in the 1960's I had bedtimes I was to adhere to. And by adhere to I mean go to sleep. Bedrooms nowadays are filled with things to entertain you, like cellphones and computers and what have you. I just thought of this amusement: On my first day of college when my parents were helping me move into my dorm room, when we were outside of the dorm two parents were outside the front doors and a new college boy, their son, came outside to see them with his much younger brother, by several years, and the parents said to the younger boy, "What did you think?" The younger boy replied in horror, "There's nothing in there, not even a phone or television!" All the parents in listening distance laughed quite heartily. |
