I can't tell you all how pleased I am that the thread is still alive & kicking. I was an avid follower in 2009 & 2010, and even submitted a few posts. Then I had to start working in the office, so there went my fun!
Now I'm back home temporarily, so historic L.A., here I come!
BTW, love the photo above of Wilshire & Detroit. I used to live at Wilshire & Cochran (2 blocks west), in a 2-story Moderne building that is still there. I'm proud to say that my unit was the only one remaining with its original Murphy bed.
