noirish Los Angeles

AlvaroLegido, by slightly shaking a stereoview image via a gif you get an idea of the 3 dimensional quality.

Here's an example.

People standing by a Ford automobile / location unknown

It's basically the same idea behind the more recent View-Master.

Ismaelmub, first you have to upload your photographs to a photo hosting site and go from there.

Guess what folks. I have a mystery location for this afternoon.

I happened upon this slide of a Richfield and Mobil gas station this morning on eBay. I'm pretty sure it's new to NLA.

Does this area look familiar to anyone?

Here's another slide from the same time period.

Re the above photo with the 2 gas stations, I think this is the curve at Highland and Franklin...



....just beneath the canopy of the Richfield station I believe you can see a sliver of the Hughes Market that was at the n.e. corner of Highland/Franklin for many years.

When I first saw that photo the view felt oh so familiar and you confirmed that with your identification riichkay. With the road that converges there that 2-Way Signal sign is another confirmation.

In that photo, someone has knocked over one of the cones in the road.

Thanks for figuring out the location of the gas stations, riichkay. I appreciate it.


A news photo just popped up on eBay of an aerial ambulance at LA Eastside Airport in 1933.

Info.



But I don't recall any airport between Los Angeles and Whittier.
