"Doors Re-opened"?
Thanks ever so much Mustapha. We lived in Vancouver from 83 to 86, and on our 1st drive downtown, the wife was the navigator using a map. She said "drive straight through", I said" I can't! There is a domed stadium in the way!"

Thanks for that connection, Mustapha.
The views of LA are wonderful and the technique is superb!

Also, just up the street on Carlaw from Colgate Palmolive (by the way, they renamed "Natalie" Street "Colgate" in 1935 when they built the factory) was Reliable Toy factory. My mom worked there for 24 years from 1948. Many of those factories in the east end are either torn down or turned into condos (Wrigley). You know what it is like when you are a kid, your sense of smell is much more distinct than it is as we get older. I lived across the street from a Dunlop Tire factory, but depending on which way the wind was blowing, I also got a whiff of the soap smell from Colgate Palmolive factory, and the smell of fresh baking bread from Brown Bros. factory at Logan and Eastern (Now Weston). Many fine memories!
