Thanks for your tip ! I’m currently using that resource and they have some good stuff. My hope is to eventually locate someone’s personal treasure trove of photos & artifacts. That would be ideal for this project.

I grew up just off Whittier Bl. & Kern Ave. and remember going to all these great theaters in the 60’s & 70’s.
I am currently involved in a historical project to document the memories, stories and anecdotes
of those who lived and worked and enjoyed the theaters, shops & restaurants near this strip of Whittier Blvd. between Ford Bl. & Atlantic Ave. from as far back as the 40’s to the 80’s. If anyone
is interested in sharing their recollections for this project please contact me. I also seek any photos,
& any materials related to this area from this period. Thanks in advance.

I am a local historian and former resident of the E.L.A.,Whittier Boulevard neighborhood.
I am planning a multi-media historical compilation on this famous street for possible future public presentation and publication. The approximate area of focus is Whittier Blvd. from Evergreen Cemetery to Atlantic Boulevard and the adjoining neighborhoods.
I am currently compiling first hand accounts, narratives, anecdotes and memories related to experiences from individuals who have lived, worked or visited this area from as early an era as possible, up until no later than 1980s. Also, anyone having possession or access to photographs, film, recordings or any media related to this strip of Whittier Blvd. from this time period, is also sought for this project. Any amount of input is helpful.
All information and assistance will be greatly appreciated. Please contact.
