Speed Racer "No Home Depot" • FOWL LAKE • 76 BALL


ST. NOHO

A Native's Eye on Sunland Tujunga and North Hollywood


• HOME oilchange DEPOT [no!]














Shown: July Fourth 2006
Parade with NO HOME DEPOT float.
That float seemed to be sinking recently
as the City was approving, or conniving with,
Home Depot to approve a store where the
Edwards Drive-In and then K Mart was located.
BUT HOME DEPOT meesssed up! Read all
about how a car repair portion of K Mart
has created a FELONY ON HOME DEPOT ?

• L.A. CITY hill [st.]

















ChinaTown over the hill on HILL ST. to the
Civic Center where we see the L.A. City Hall.
Which brings us to the subject of my bout
uphill to healthy after my Dental trip...


• mY dENTAL tRIP, oWWEEE!

No, I do not wear dresses and my Doctor is
NOT WC Fields, but he is Dr. HARDY, where
is Laurel ? Well, Laurel Cyn is nearby to
SARGON DENTAL in Encino. As this
Ibuprofen starts working the pain from
TWO EXTRACTIONS is calming down
and THANK G-D. My Doctor's job was very necessary
having been in constant suffering for over a week,
and the great Dental medical work did the job !


















• NOHO RAILROAD STATION, yes.


































Three views of historical Lankershim Train Depot
in North Hollywood, California. A very old pic,
followed with what it looked like as a lumberyard,
which growing up I thought that all it was, and a recent pic
showing it's age. Built in 1896 by Southern Pacific Railroad
at the corner of Lankershim Boulevard and Chandler
Street.
There is a restoration project starting in conjunction
with the Metro Transit.

• Un-Observatory










Here is a captured web cam view of work on the
yet not finished RECENT rennovation of the Griffith
Observatory Winter 2004. There was a cam on top
of the scaffolding set up around the Astronomer's
edifice being cleaned up in the building's foreground.


• Oh SEE YOU CAN SAY... !

















For these last couple of
first 2 months back at my
ST home, we have tented
to de-termite, cleaned up
from the interior ummm,
well, destruction of walls and ceilings and taken
showers with just an opaque film of plastic covering
the opening, rafters and remaining tiles, and as
you see above before the plastic was put up, we
are a few feet away from neighbors.
So, I went to Builders
Warehouse in NoHo,
see, definitely
NO HOME DEPOT,
and got a hammered
glass window which
I put in temporarally,


















to be finished with bathroom remodeling.
And the window, IT IS GREAT.




• FOWL BIRDIES
@ LAKE BALBOA

















I went over to Lake Balboa in the middle of the
San Fernando Valley on a beautiful Southern
California day in beginning of November.

I saw these large water fowl and had to get a
vid of this rural atmosphere right here in L.A.





• PHIL'S DINER NOHO













From a 1920's design by Charles Amend
Phil's Diner served the railroad business
area of 1900's North Hollywood. Located
on Chandler just off Lankershim many
blue collars workers came to this modest
diner. As NoHo expands Condos and
new businesses have taken most of old
historic North Hollywood.










The diner is saved standing behind the
Academy Theater off Weddington.
-I took the recent pics.

HISTORICAL 76 BALL
NEAR LAKE BALBOA

Maria & Mike from FRANKLIN AVE say they were
"First with news of ... the disappearance of the 76 balls"
First THANK YOU GUYS again

We really enjoyed the tickets I won from YOU,
to DECOMPRESSION in DownTown.
I went with "my blogger baby" Jamie, oh he's 36,
not months, years.
ANYWAY HERE IS ONE OF THOSE invisible globes.

















ST POCKET DOORS & Termite Tenting





















I have been back to my Sunland Tujunga home for
about 2 or 3 months now, tearing the house apart
was done by JME while I was taking care of his
Grandmother, my Mom, for the last 3 years in
North Hollywood, where I grew up.


Taking care of the house 24/7 were
and are the team of Flower and Di.
They are now back with Vic Tanny and
Sweety Pie, my 9 years olds {kitties}


In the 30 etc. years I have lived in this house I have
NEVER had vermin of any kind including NO fleas.
In Noho my 2 cats had fleas, yucky. So, now we are
termiteless and ready to follow through with mass
insulation, high desert up here -1500ft, and redo
into the GREAT ROOM idea, minor plans by
linking via clic on doggies.










Just before I moved back we 'tented' the house for
termites which were a small, best to get rid of, problem
for this 60 year old structure. That is where we are
now with more windows in the rest of the house as
we put in the front part a year ago. You can see some
of all that by clicing on the doggies.










Below is one of the " pocket door " encasements
which were originally in many of the interior wall
door areas. We always had 'that sliding door' for
the bathroom but always thought it was an anomoly.

My Mother's home in Noho , that I grew up in, had
one for the kitchen. After pulling all the wall surfaces
out for our remodeling, Jaime noted that the same
company in North Hollywood fabricated these
interesting sliding doors.

They are stamped " NU-DOR
a product of NU-WAY
of North Hollywood, Ca. "

Sunland Tujunga & North Hollywood
are the City of Los Angeles,
California in the U.S.A.
















We also live in the County of Los Angeles
this is the evil maybe x-logo that has that
G-d reference, and other stuff of the devils.
The County has used for it decades, WHO KNEW?




We can always make fun of ourselves
as with the fake-logo for Kalifoana.
With this neighborhood blog about
these cities with unique
historys and lifestyles,
we will shed some humor
and truths concerning our
