The Hotel El Rancho was built in 1937 as a haven for Hollywood's famous who stayed at the hotel while on location filming the many westerns that were shot in the area. Stars arrived in Gallup in the insulated atmosphere of Sante Fe Railway trains but soon they learned about the frontier in a journey to the El Rancho by wagon, carriage or buggy that met every Santa Fe passenger train. Chauffeur driven limousines arrived from Hollywood on Route 66 for use in the daily trips to the filming locations. Among the many film stars that stayed here were Errol Flynn, John Wayne, Betty Grable, Alan Ladd, Burt Lancaster, Doris Day, Gene Audry, Gregory Peck, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Jane Fonda, Katherine Hepburn, Kirk Douglas, Lee Marvin, Lee Remick, Lucille Ball, Mae West, Marx Brothers, Rita Hayworth, Robert Mitcham, Ronal Reagan, Spencer Tracy, WC Fields, Zachary Scott and President Eisenhower. Rooms are named after these and many other stars. October 2006

This is at the corner of Hollywood & La Brea. This gleaming silver gazebo, topped by a spire which reads "Hollywood," features sleek, life-size statues of four silver screen goddesses in evening gowns. In a nod to multiculturalism, the four actresses represented by the statues are Mae West, Dolores Del Rio, Dorothy Dandridge and Anna May Wong. Due to the angle of the shot I took, only 3 statues are shown in the picture.

Yesterday, for St. Patty's Day, we picked up some corned beef sandwiches and headed for our favorite spot by the sea. This gull perched right in front of us the entire time, patiently waiting for a little morsel. At first, (s)he refused a piece of my spinach pita as (s)he wasn't sure about the green . . . but after a taste of my husband's marbled rye, the bird gave it a try!
Perhaps (s)he was
"Looking for the answer inside the question."
as RUMI may have done.
Victor Hugo came to mind as I recited his words,
"Be like the bird that,
pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight,
feels them give way beneath her,
and yet
SINGS,
knowing that she hath wings."
which took me, for an instant, back to my childhood wondering how things would have been different had someone taken me under their wing, protecting me from everything . . .
but . . . I've always been blessed with special angels who seem to come through my grandmother at just the perfect moment . . .
“When angels visit us,
we do not hear the rustle of wings,
nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove;
but we know their presence
by the love they create in our hearts.” (anon)
Alas, I think of
"friends, the angels who lift our feet
when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly." (anon)
Well, I have to agree with May West who said,
"I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit."

Neirs'Tavern
Neir's, among the oldest and most historic bars in the country, is located in the Woodhaven section of Queens in New York City. More than 180 years old, it is one of the few old drinking establishments that has been in almost continuous operation - Prohibition not withstanding - and in the same location, for its entire history.
Neir's is known as the tavern where Mae West first performed, where actors such as W.C. Fields and business men like Fred Trump (Donald's father) would gather for a drink. It also has gained fame as the bar in which the classic Martin Scosese film, "Goodfellas," starring Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco, was filmed.
Neir's was founded in October, 1829 as "The Old Blue Pump House," by Cadwallader R. Colden, the manager of the famed Union Course racetrack that was then across the street.
In 1835, The Blue Pump House was renamed "The Old Abbey." As the fortunes of the Union Course race track declined, The Old Abbey gained a reputation as a "notorious rumseller" that catered to the crowds of "black legs,
thieves, housebreakers [and] fighting men" that were going to the races.
In 1851 The Old Abbey was purchased by Nathan F. Graves, a distinguished politician and banker, who cleaned it up and kept it for almost 40 years. When the race track closed down, the tavern was bought in 1898 by Louis Neir. He expanded it by adding a ballroom, a bowling alley, rooms upstairs for a hotel, and he called it "Neir's Social Hall." The Neir's family eventually sold the place in 1967 and it then became "The Union Course Tavern. "In 2009, the tavern
was closed for eight months for restoration, including refinishing the 150-year old mahogany bar and fixtures, and has reopened once again as "Neir's."
Just a few. I think I have the whole deck. I believe most, if not all of these images were available as large posters.
