We all recognize Bimini Slough because of the oft-posted Bimini Baths, located downstream from the Shakespeare Bridge (the large building circled in red is John Marshall High School)Ī further look at Arroyo de la Sacatela (feeding into Bimini Slough). (Sacatela Creek has long been covered over) The ravine over which the bridge was built was once a perennial stream called Arroyo de la Sacatela.īelow: Early views of the Shakespeare Bridge.Ī view from below. The Shakespeare Bridge was built in 1926 by J.C. John WayneĪnd Andy Devine, also working as extras on the film, obviously escaped.Īnd here's a small version of the big photo in case anyone doesn't want to scroll around:ĭetail of the photograph originally posted by Tovanger2 Three extras actually drowned here during the filming of Noah's Ark (1928). Sorry it's so huge, but the detail is fascinating: The two little bungalows, connected by the entrance arch, at Prospect and Talmadge (right of center, at bottom) are still there of course. Shakespeare Bridge crosses the little canyon where the headwaters of Sacatela Creek rose. The worthy-of-exploration neighborhood is a bare, brown hillside. Here's an undated (circa 1926) shot taken from the opposite direction with the Shakespeare Bridge (1926) on the upper left and the site of the Prospect Stairs upper right.
Of course this studio was built in 1915 as the Vitagraph Studio you can see it there in the 1938 photo. This is just east of what is now called the Prospect Studios on Talmadge Street, where ABC's former west coast studios/headquarters was (they moved to Glendale in 1999). Oh my, this looks like a good neighborhood for me to explore-maybe today? I wanna walk up and down those stairs. I wish I could reply sooner, my computer always seems to be in the shop getting fixed. The alexandria is limited to people with a certain income, I think the max is something like 30 some grand a year, so if you make more than that, you cant live there. I am worried though about the proposed 35 or 40 story building they want to put at 6th and main in front of the pacific electric building, I do not know much about it, I have not seen any renderings yet, but I am 109.2% sure it will be awful. The parking lot sucks big time, there is a feeling of dead space when you walk by. In a vision, he saw the sea rising up to suck them in, tonguing off their flesh and rolling their. Personally I would rather there be a 2-3 story building go in, that way the alexandria doesnt get screwed over, and an alleyway can always be included as well. Remember Me (lasts for 2 weeks, or until you log out). Well yes, it sucks, but I meant that compared to most new buildings being built nowadays, its better than most of them, in that its not a pile of random shaped colorful things stacked on top of eachother (again, see new genesis apartments on 5th and main, or the new thing they are building on the corner of 2nd and los angeles street). Dunno if I'm too noir or not noir enough. The developers wrecked Bunker Hill and now they think it's the Historic Core's turn.
SUCK ME SHAKESPEER LAPL WINDOWS
And the Alexandria will lose five floors of their south-facade windows if the Hellen monster is built.
SUCK ME SHAKESPEER LAPL PLUS
Plus closing off the rear access to the Academy, Cameo & Roxie theaters (which he also owns, along with the Arcade Building) is a crime against their future use. I don't know why developer Joseph Heller's so keen to fill the "void" (as he calls it in the LA DownTown News article you linked). Paradoxically, greater democratic dissemination of information, rather than producing an educated public, has instead created an army of ill-informed, angry citizens who denounce intellectual achievement.I can't agree Horthos, I think the proposed building is appalling. The Death of Expertise shows how this rejection of experts developed: the openness of the internet, the emergence of a customer satisfaction model in higher education, and the transformation of the news industry into a 24-hour entertainment machine. All voices demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as elitism. With only a quick trip through WebMD or Wikipedia, average citizens believe themselves to be as informed as doctors and diplomats. These gains, however, also fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that derails debates on numerous issues. Technology and increasing levels of education expose people to more information than ever before.
