film fest...

Don't forget the 2011 L.A. Film Fest has been happening this week and will be winding down on Sunday, the 26th of June. Go to their website at lafilmfest.com to find the remaining previews, times and locations for the films you may want to see. This is a great way to support the film community from around the world and get you out! I will be attending the preview of 'Christopher and his Kind', a film based on the early years of author, Christopher Isherwood. Should be a great night out!

Remnant of the Past...

Originally, in 1924, when the Gaylord made its' grand debut, the suites were carpeted. Pictured, is a remnant of the original carpeting that would have been found inside the suites. This piece we uncovered from underneath one of the dresser built-ins.

If you click on the page from the April 1926 Gaylord Glimpses, posted here, you will see a photo of an interior inside one of the Gaylord suites, with a grand piano. Underneath the piano and some throw rugs is this carpet.

Black and tan... hmmm, makes me think of beer.

Magnificent Top Floor Single...

AVAILABLE on the top floor (14th!), a magnificent Single unit at 670 sq ft for $1400/mo.
This is a west facing unit with hardwood floors, great closets, distinctive upgrades.
If you enjoy grand living, this is the one for you. This unit will not be available for long!

Search other available units in the June 14th entry.

Upcoming CD release...

Have an ear out for the debut cd on Sept. 6th for one of our talented residents of the Gaylord. 'Zenith Myth' has produced a great, complete cd from beginning to end. Go to puregrainaudio.com and search for 'zenith myth' to get more of the background story. Come on, if Meshell Ndegeocello is a featured vocalist on it, how can you go wrong?!

Wilshire Boulevard...

This photo was taken from atop the Gaylord, looking west, clearly from the early days of Wilshire Blvd. Just a vast plain ahead of you filled with houses and not the high rises that we know of today. Look at how far west you can see without the obstructed views! All you had was the Gaylord, the original Brown Derby at its' original location (which took up the entire front of the block between Alexandria & Mariposa), our majestic neighbor still standing proudly today, the Wilshire Christian Church on the corner at Normandie and many lighted billboards for Frigidaire, Palos Verdes Estates, the silent film drama, Four Sons from 1928, etc.
