ricco67 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 That was on the 1000 block of Walker, which is now demolished for the up and coming Mainspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceAge Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That photograph looks like the Town and Country location of James Coney Island. It was demolished and relocated across Kimberley Lane to the north east of the original site. James Coney Island was rebuilt near the original location of the Pillow Parlor which was a tall glass box like building piled high with pillows. Pillows were very popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The set of Ed Brandon's popular television teen talk show TURN ON consisted of nothing but spot lit pillows in an otherwise darkened studio.
