Home of The Combo - a hamburger topped with a split & grilled hot dog.

A version of The Combo was sold by the late, great Mike's Hockey Burger (Washington Bl. & Soto St). Mikes, though, closed up in 2016 and the property redeveloped into a 7-Eleven.

(Howard's Avocado Burger is a shell of it's former self - no longer worthy of a mention)

in the 80s there was a burger place called Radion that was originally on Pico near Bundy and it moved to Hollywood on Franklin somewhere. Those burgers were out of this world.

It's nice to live in a Burger Mecca.

So many great choices.

Welcome to NLA, fullpower!

Thanks so much for sharing your family photographs with us.... They're quite amazing.

I'm not arguing that LA has many fine burger joints it's just not the first thing I think of when I think of the city's cuisine, I think of Mexican food

GW, excellent post on the " many noirish Olive Days".

Here is William Jobelmann (PIMP) and Miss Olive Day, former actress, who is said to confessed to operating the "love market" supplying young girls to wealthy men for week-end trip and parties.

LAPL...Herald Examiner, 1931

William Jobelmann.

Herald Examiner

Damn, girl, what were you thinking?

He's right out of central casting.

Here is one of Jobelmann's "Party" Girl.

Freckle faced Clarice Tauber in 1934. Three years after the 'incident'.

ucla archive

Clarice Tauber told the county grand jury the inside story of statutory charges …" The girl, who was 16 years of age in October, 1931, when the Mills case took place, assertedly told the jurors how she was taken to the wealthy broker’s downtown hotel room where the allege offense was committed.

The wealthy broker was John P. Mills. ...(the charges were eventually dropped)

Here's Ms. Tauber three years earlier on March 6, 1931. (age 16)

LAPL

The Herald Examiner photo editor was obviously having a difficult time cropping the photograph.

As the case was going forward, young Miss Tauber abruptly married sailor Thomas Fladebo:

LA Times, 8/13/1931

By December 8, 1931, "Fladebo testified he last saw his wife in Mexico and that he does not know her whereabouts" (LA Times, 12/9/1931).

Mr. Statler Gilfillen had contacted me for some information, and has kindly given me permission to share with you the following picture of where his grandfather Cleon Gilfillen lived in 1913, located at 1611 W. 48th St.

More pictures--including of his grandfather--can be found at his site https://gilfillen.wordpress.com/cleon-gilfillen/.

1611 W. 48th is a survivor:

Grandfather Cleon was a watchmaker. In 1916 (info for this and the following from the CD for the years indicated), his office was at 220 W. 5th, room 405, while his residence was now at 620 S. Grand. By 1917, he was at 319 S. Grand.

Another Day is just another great McCartney song

sour grapes. Paul's granny music was better than John and Yoko's screaming and wailing.

Martin Pal · #**57318** Posted **Jul 28, 2021, 6:24 PM**

In the 70's, and maybe they still do, Universal Studios had an area of oversized props at one of the tram rest stops. I think it was called Prop Plaza.
