[Konvas] Mack Sennet studios

[Speedbird@acousticturtle.plus.com]

This is very interesting. Is this the place where Keystone cops were made etc  Great to hear where these old films were made, so much history all just wiped away. They can build housing estates for the masses but do not create employment opportunities for the masses. Eventually its going to be dog eat dog as portrayed in Mad Max.

Years ago when I moved into the Echo Park district with my family I had no idea of the film history just a few blocks away. The original Mack Sennett and Keystone, Charlie Chaplin and Fox studios were all there at the beginning of the industry. There was a small plaque in a dirty courtyard at a freeway exit where a printing company stood for years. It was demolished a few years ago, along with the plaque, for high density housing to house the well-to-do hipsters that have inundated the neighborhood.
