hmmm. . .so did the Waldorf Cellar morph into the Club Waldorf in the 1970s. . . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/nlBAGz.jpg detail . . .or is this an entirely different bar? Here's the complete photograph [1974]. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/nz461t.jpg originally found on eBay As you can see it's a block south of the Rosslyn Hotel on Main St. . |

The Acme brewery was extensively remodeled in 1957 (I'm going to imagine this is when they lost the lodge) and closed in 1973.

. Thanks for the film identification of the Waldorf Cellar photo, Mackerm. I have not seen this noir before, I may have to check it out.Quote:

And here's a big HELLO from everyone on NLA, Norton Manhattan.... Welcome! :) It's very cool that you found your Uncle Bill in the photograph. He looks rather suave. Also. . . I never imagined that there would be a foldout postcard of Acme's Sequoia Lodge. Good find Mackerm . https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/Q84Csh.jpg detail But WHERE are the breweries that towered over it? ......I bet the postcard company was instructed to leave them out. AND, unless I'm mistaken, this is the first we've seen of the non-totem 'totem' pole. . |
Tilton's Trolley Trip - Sea to the Orange Groves
Somebody sent me these two photos from his grandfather's photo album taken, I assume, when grandpa took a ride on a “Tilton’s Trolley Trip – from Sea to Orange Groves.” We got curious about where the group was standing. I'm assuming that the building with the bell was the San Gabriel Mission but I've never been there. Does it look familiar to anyone? The location in the other photo could be pretty much anywhere, but if it looks familiar to anyone, we'd love to know where this lively group was standing.

That top pic is definitely the San Gabriel Mission, which incidentally, is undergoing restoration after a huge arson fire last year. |

I have no pictures; but could this be some corner of the Foothill Inn of Azusa? I see "Tilton took a position as the manager of the Foothill Inn, a hotel in Azusa, and which likely was one of the stops for his tours, perhaps the Tally-Ho trip" (at https://homesteadmuseum.blog/2020/07...-23-july-1909/). The Los Angeles Herald of January 29, 1910, refers to "the new Foothill Inn at Azusa among the orange groves at the base of the foothills. Famous for the excellence of its cuisine." Plus the LA Times of February 15, 1910, tells us that "George F. Tilton is manager of the new Foothill Inn and the hotel offers every promise of adding to the attractions of Southern California, as well as to the charms of Azusa in particular. The interior is decorated in the best of taste and effective ideas in architecture and gardening are being carried out in the exterior." :shrug: |

No, but I read a review of it yesterday in the nytimes. Here's a bit of it. "If his thesis is that Los Angeles is a city-state like ancient Carthage or modern Singapore, perhaps even more convincing is the idea he picks from the physicist and dedicated urban stair-climber Dan Gutierrez: that the megalopolis mirrors (or presaged) the internet, its “networks upon networks layered densely in a mesh,” where motoring from Point A to Point B “felt like social media’s infinite scroll,” human services thin as trapeze nets, full of holes." |

A morning mini-mystery. A couple weeks ago when I was searching for the Acme Sequoia Lodge I happen upon this ad for the Acme Hotel in the 1888 Los Angeles City Directory. Frustratingly, the ad doesn't include the address. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/2UXjfp.jpg LAPL...PAGE 1020 I looked in a few other directories and found the Acme Hotel but still no address. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/a35s3k.jpg LAPL Somewhat surprisingly the hotel is listed as late as 1923. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/yX1zoS.jpg lapl / Paul is a lab so the hotel allowed pets. I know that the address must be in one of the directories but I didn't come across it. Does anyone know the street address of the Acme Hotel? Paul isn't really a dog. .... |

The Acme Hotel was in Pasadena - https://i.imgur.com/b4Dussy.jpg rescarta.lapl.org Poor quality picture despite tweaking, the Acme Hotel building is to the left here at the corner of Fair Oaks and Dayton. https://i.imgur.com/zPKFtYN.jpg flickr.com - Loren Roberts |

Not being Catholic it was all new to me. My mother was born Catholic but she had long ago left that faith and my stepfather had very many negative reactions to that church, as his legal clients had complaints about priests offering healings for money. Healings can happen via sincere prayer but its not a good idea to involve money. I know....I've had it happen. One would be very surprised at what the Celestial Beings can do. |
