Here is a page from a 1944 map book, Los Angeles county. On the bottom left, you can see that Valley Boulevard is 1600 near Rosemead. Joe’s 1964 map corresponds with this.

I might be out there tomorrow. I will check it out.

Thanks. Your photo didn’t have a caption, of course, as you posted it. If I was to click on “Back to Flickr page”, as I just did, I then see the caption. Look before you leap, as the saying goes.

I had to re-map this as the map link at the top puts you in Glendora. W. Baseline picks up in San Bernardino just east of the 215.

On one of the other pages, a contributor mentioned that the Park was on the east side of Euclid, just south of the California. I will look for that one as well. It’s not listed here on CT as of yet.

I’m taking the old road (66) tomorrow from Pasadena to Ontario, so unless I get waylaid I should be able to figure out the status of this one.

Sorry about any duplication. I try to scan through what’s been posted, but I do miss sometimes.

If you ever get to Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles, the tour guide will take you past Zane Grey’s house.

I was actually looking at the FDR-Willkie reference on one of the marquees. That was the 1940 election, and they didn’t start two years before like today. As I recall the usual campaign season was February to November, but the real campaigning didn’t begin until the baseball season ended in early October. They figured that people didn’t pay attention to politics until after the World Series.

I did a google search and found the latest film to be 1940. I figured the others were reissues. Not too scientific, but that’s how I got the approximate date.

OK, thanks. I didn’t know which Embassy, so I guessed right, apparently.

This photo, probably early 40s, was on skyscrapercity.com. I’m trying to match it to one of the Newsreels in Times Square. Any help is appreciated:

Great, so it’s open again. I hope they do well.

kencmcintyre commented about Loew's Capitol Theatre on Apr 3, 2008 at 1:12 pm

1968 doesn’t work for me, as I was six years old. Too many rules. How about 1977? Now there was a great year.
