noirish Los Angeles

I'm surprised the little house on Hancock and the two larger houses facing Broadway have survived since they're practically surounded by commercial real estate.


You can barely see the homes facing Broadway.




The best view is from Hancock St.



They look like rental properties.

Take a look at this slide with the car carrier passing the Palladium.



eBay

The seller says it was taken in 1951. Do you think that's right judging by cars?

Thanks for the follow-up on the Ye Bull Pen sign snapshot, Godzilla.

J. H. Graham explains how the rooftop sign on Hope St. ended up on top of the Hula Hut at 8204 Beverly Blvd.

This is an Alfred Eisenstaedt photo for the May 3 1937 issue of Life Magazine.....


....the women are standing on the southeast corner of Hollywood and Cahuenga....




.....the woman in the middle is possibly actress Mary Wickes....

It does look like Mary Wickes. The one on the right looks familiar, too, though I don't have a name.

If there's a definitive database of acts that played the Palladium, I can't locate it, but I did find notes that Ray Anthony played there in November of 1950 and
November of 1953 as well. Ray Anthony has an album titled Live at the Palladium that was recorded November 10, 1950. NBC also recorded Ray Anthony and
His Orchestra playing live for their All Star Parade of Bands series, November 23, 1953.

I don't know about the cars!

The white car with the black roof looks like a 1951 Chevy Bel Air.

Then I guess this must be on or about November 10, 1950. The car carrier has a Chevy logo on it and the other cars also appear to be 1951 Chevys.

I happened upon this unique item on eBay earlier today.


Seller's description:..Antique, Dept. of Water & Power. Southern California. Embossed Red Globe.

What would have this been used for? Was it intended for a lantern.



There is also a Soo-Line (RR) Red Globe that is nearly three times the price, HERE
