Some sad news. The last day to experience Dinah’s in its original location in Los Angeles is on April 30th. Dinah’s opened here in 1959, but new development is taking over, and it’s practically forced the historic restaurant to move out. (Thread)
The @tcm FF celebrated 30 years of TCM and 30 years of PULP FICTION when a huge portion of the cast reunited last night for an incredible Q & A by host @BenMank77. It was a thrill to be there and witness this history 🎥🎥🎥
I refused to celebrate the ending of CURB, until now. This series was on for almost half of my life. To think I saw the first season on a satellite TV placed in a backyard that needed to twist for 2 minutes to watch HBO and this past weekend I watched the last finale episode on…
Three of my VINTAGE LA news reports for SPECTRUM NEWS 1 are up for local L.A. Emmy consideration. They are in included in ‘best feature segment’ and ‘informational series’. I’m gonna sob.
There’s a new tiki bar in West Hollywood called THE LUCKY TIKI. Felt *lucky” to be there during their soft opening.

Enjoying every second of the Steve Martin 2 part documentary. So many fascinating phases of his life such as his younger self working as a Disneyland performer, surrounded by vaudeville performers and magicians. He even worked at the magic shop.

Share the first ever movie you remember seeing in a theater 🎥
@alisonmartino I was there for 2 months in 1983 from Italy, and it was a fantastic period! I remember listening to KJLH all the time, going in Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Malibu... 🌊
@alisonmartino Growing up in Los Angeles in 1970s is one of the best things that happened in my life. No cell phones or Internet but best place best era. I show old photos to my 90yr-old mom at nursing home and say Didn't we have so much fun.😢
@alisonmartino Look at how much character even the simplest of buildings / establishments had! This is such a great piece of history/nostalgia.
@la_dorkout @alisonmartino @SeligerGrants That makes sense, (and I bow to your superior knowledge ) - I didnt know that the Greyhound station was on Vine at one time - I know in the late 70s it was in the 1700 block of N Cahuenga.
@40th_Parallel_W @alisonmartino @SeligerGrants The whole video is Vine Street. At least the McDonald's is still there!
@alisonmartino @SeligerGrants Shot before the Vine shot is North Cahuenga just above Hollywood Bl- the Pic n Save & the Greyhound Station were both there on the west side of the street, as was the Trailways station, which became the Continental Club for most of the ’80s. Sad now - the block is all torn down.
@alisonmartino I actually bought some cute little ceramic Christmas tree ornaments at that Pic n Save! And I still have them somewhere
@alisonmartino @PeanutHeadFred It was a simpler time. No cell phones, no tracking, no spam, no being buried in electronics. Thanks for posting.
@PeanutHeadFred @alisonmartino Being a comically self-righteous, condescending asshole. Not a big deal.
@alisonmartino Just re-watched your Dad in The Godfather tonight. Johnny Fontaine played by Al Martino FTW!
@alisonmartino Wow! I worked on my first film, first day on a film set at that Greyhound station. VIOLET, an AFI film with Didi Conn, March 1980. Memorable because I heard someone yell "Mark!" (for the camera slate) and not knowing what it was/thinking I fucked up, I ran into the first shot.
@alisonmartino I loved going into L.A. then…
