I didn't notice Dan-Dee's until you pointed it out TWS. -thanks


Here's a fantastic slide dated 1952 of the American Broadcast Company (KECA) on Vine Street. (and what a clear blue sky!)


found last night on eBay

I never expected to see my name up in lights (and on a rooftop sign to boot).
Thank you HossC. You're the best.

below: I've been meaning to post this, and now seems like a good time to do so.
This is the first time I've noticed flags flying on the roof.*


eBay

Is it a case of artistic license? -or were they really there?

* I stand corrected. I just looked at HossC's postcard again and I see flagpoles in the darkness!!

I just went back in the thread and yes there ARE flagpoles there....but none seem to have flags flying.

Here's a huge photo of the Richfiield Building showing the flagless flagpoles.

update:
Here's a group of photograph I posted way back on page 5...and yes, one photo has flags flying. < I'm red faced.
