Love the quote. Love the gif of LA just as much!

From Vintage LA. Looking south on Vine St. shortly after the Capital Records building opened in 1956

The world famous Ciro’s, in the 1940’s, Los Angeles. Later it became the Crazy Horse, then Ciro’s again, then  It’s Boss, Art Laboe’s, and finally the Comedy Store.

Los Angeles in the 1940’s. The Red Car heads out of the San Fernando Valley along the Cahuenga Pass, before the auto companies bought them out and got rid of them.

Los Angeles, probably in the mid-30’s. Albert’s Sunset Cafe. I’m guessing it’s on Sunset Blvd. Love this photo! So much to look at. Snagged from Vintage LA on FB.

Is this PSYCHO the musical?  Norman Bates’s favorite dream? No, just Anthony Perkins and…friends on the set of PSYCHO in Universal City, CA, November 20, 1959.

Thanks to Vintage LA for posting the shot on FB!

Los Angeles in 1960. The intersection of Washington Blvd. and Sepulveda. Love that red rocket!

A Smilodon skeleton exhibit at the Page Museum of the La Brea Tar Pits.  Imagine these babies romping all over Los Angeles!

That’s no special effect. The shuttle Endeavour brought LA to a thrilled standstill as it flew over for the last time. As it flew right over my building at work, everyone went, “Whoa!”
