Roscoe Turner and his pet Gilmore

London, 1928

 

Santa Fe Springs oil well fires, Los Angeles.

Circa 1928.

 

Woods was black. The dads name was Tim. The sons name was Lenny. I'm not sure who this guy is and I don't remember a Glenn.

 

Pasadena, CA, 1945



Wilshire blvd, Los Angeles, 1945

 

I believe your talking of "Tim Woods" of "Stone, Woods and Cook" fame. Obviously two different "Woods"

Pat

 

Wood (not Woods), as in Wood Brothers. NASCAR. Icons.

 

I know. I was correcting jroberts from post #79963, who said Glen was from Stone, Woods and Cook. I didn't think I needed to copy the entire post. Guess I was wrong.

 

Colorado Boulevard at Oakland looking westbound, City Hall in the background. The buildings in the foreground are still there, but the Broadway store is long gone. The lot with the mausoleum sign has been built up.

 

The signs in the windows look like they read "Mid-City Auto Co."

 

Me too! That's an F6F-5K Hellcat in the background; the "K" means it was converted to a radio-controlled target drone.

 

That's one I would have gotten wrong, never knew they converted Hellcats into drones! Good call Chrisbcritter.

Doc.
