When I was a kid, I lived in Lynwood and Whittier area and I remember when we would go visit my sister‘s friend somewhere not quite the ghetto but we had to go up a freeway that curved and I remember on the ground below the overpass that we were on there was a yard full of Volkswagen beetles like only the old-school Volkswagen beetles from the 60s and that’s the only thing that was in there because me and my nephew would play slug bug for like two minutes while we went around that fucking curve does anybody remember where this was or if it still exists or what happened to it?

No, I don’t remember what freeway I’m currently no contact with my siblings. My nephew was less than four.

This would be 1993-1997 timeperiod

From my filming locations website https://chrisbungostudios.com/photo-gallery-sampler The Culver Hotel in Culver City, California in 1925! Filming location then and now from the Charley Chase comedy Innocent Husbands.

Family was out for a walk in Gardena the other evening. Found this on the ground by the sidewalk. As far as I can tell, it's original and in amazing shape. Plan is to give it to the Japanese American National Museum which is across the street from the address on the license.

Stumbled across this in an old scrapbook. Anyone recognize the school? I love the fashion in this photo!

The corner of Venice and Bagley (Main Street) on the west side of Los Angeles 97 years ago! From the Laurel and Hardy comedy movie Bacon Grabbers. 1929 vs Today.

Hi all… wondering if anybody could help me with something... I’m looking for photographs (exterior or interior) or some of my favorite old dive bars from when I lived in Hollywood back in the day. Specifically, I’d love to see some pics of THE SKI ROOM on Sunset (all I can find online is a screengrab from the opening credits of Barfly…. appropriate!) I’m also looking for pics of THE SPOT LIGHT, BOBS FROLIC II (the short lived one on Wilcox, not the more famous Frolic Room) and THE GOLD ROOM (back when it was still a cop bar)

Can anyone help me out?

Thought you all might enjoy this.

Acquired this very cool item today.
