Harry Chandler DTLA Bravo, Chronicle! Your 100year anniversary issue is such a treasure. After living for 54 years in Hancock Park, I remember much of it well. Thank you.

Diana “DeDe” McNicholas Westwood We have been thoroughly entertained for the past two days reading the special edition of the Chronicle! Great job!!! So much fun and we plan to share it with family members.

Margaret and John Given Encino Just a note of thanks for the great booklet, “Larchmont Then and Now.” How I remember the movie theater and Jurgensens Market, Phil’s Poultry and all the other bygone memories! I know how much work you put into this history, and after 70 years of good memories — you are great! Joann Clark and Family Windsor Square The LC Larchmont Centennial Edition is glorious.

George Epstein Miracle Mile North Heartfelt congratulations to the entire staff on your Centennial issue on Larchmont Boulevard in the October issue of the Larchmont Chronicle! It is remarkable and a treasured document! I grew up in the 1940s and ’50s in Hancock Park, and I have fond memories of Larchmont. My friends and I would walk or bike to Larchmont Boulevard to see a movie, visit Chevalier’s, the record store and Balzer’s. Our family would sometimes go out for a meal in the cafeteria. Sincerely and gratefully,

Sandy Boeck Brookside There’s so much fascinating material, it took me a few days to get to the historical issue, which is great. Wonderful pictures and text. Put it safely in a time capsule for another hundred years from now. Thanks. David Trainer Hancock Park Excellent job on the Chronicle’s Souvenir Edition for Larchmont’s 100th Anniversary.

Tom Berens San Mateo I enjoyed reading the history of Larchmont in the Larchmont Chronicle; well done! Craig Lawson Beverlywood Thank you so much for putting out an absolutely fantastic 100th anniversary issue! I moved to the area about 17 years ago and love the community here and of course Larchmont is a fantastic neighborhood street. I really loved learning so much about the history of the area in this issue. The articles and pictures were awesome and I really thank you for sharing the rich history of our lovely neighborhood in such a fantastic way. A job well done!

Alan Wolovitch Ridgewood Place First off, bravo on the 100th Anniversary issue; the articles and photos showing the history of the Boulevard were terrific. There was, however, an error in your 100th Anniversary issue on page 28 where you spotlighted the classic films that were shot on Larchmont Boulevard. You led off the silent film section writing: “In 1917, vaudeville actor Harry Langdon, in ‘Lonesome Luke, Messenger,’ is in haste to deliver packages, and he falls off his bike in front of the homes at Clinton Street and Larchmont Boulevard.” While Langdon did come from vaudeville, it was Harold Lloyd who created and played the Lonesome Luke character in a series of short two-reelers before he moved on to his more famous “glasses” character as seen in the other films you mentioned — “Hot Water” and “For Heaven’s Sake.” Richard Whitley Brookside

Correction

Regarding the story, “Soaring ‘60s Bring Man to Moon, Return to Nostalgia” (page 24 of October’s Souvenir Collector’s Edition), a reader points out “realtors” did not design the apartment house project on the former Black Foxe School property. Architect Ragnar Qvale was hired to design, for a private client, Hancock Park Terrace, a 100unit luxury apartment complex of five buildings overlooking the Wilshire Country Club golf course. Qvale also designed the late-1960s redo and rebuild of the Wilshire Country Club clubhouse.

The Chronicle thanks the late Mr. Qvale’s wife, Mollie Q. Clark, of Park La Brea, for this correction. The Qvales and their family lived on Muirfield Road for eight years and then in Fremont Place for 24 years. — Ed.
