Saturday, May 3, 2008 – An LA Miscellany

La Cienega Boulevard at Saturn Street –

San Vicente Boulevard by the hospitals –

This jester is all over Los Angeles these days –

Things are far more serious up at the Pantages on Hollywood Boulevard – but it opened on June 4th, 1930, and, in 1949, Howard Hughes acquired the place and moved his personal offices to the building's second floor. It's a serious place

The figure on the wall is looking at this –

On Hollywood Boulevard, life these days –

Just a note – "Outrageous Contemporary" down on La Cienega Boulevard is now closed.  The outrageous is now dead.

If you wish to use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me. And should you choose to download any of these images and use them invoking the "fair use" provisions of the Copyright Act of 1976, please provide credit, and, on the web, a link back this site.
