Best Angels photos of 2010 |
The saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words.” In 2010, an Angels photo usually was worth one – “Ugh.” Whether it was a grimace after a strikeout, a pitcher with his head hanging just above the dirt or a star first baseman stunned that his season just ended after a walk-off grand slam, the year provided plenty of gut-wrenching moments. But it wasn’t all bad. There were star-making performances by guys like Jered Weaver, a big-time midseason trade, a successful All-Star Game and the debuts of some promising talent.

LA resident wonders where building’s angels went |
LOS ANGELES — The population of winged guardians in the City of Angels is not what it was. A downtown Los Angeles resident wants to find out what happened to dozens of terra-cotta angel sculptures that once adorned a landmark downtown building that was demolished in 1969. The Richfield Building, a black, art-deco tower, which was built in 1929 and served as the headquarters for Richfield Oil, was festooned with 40 golden angels wearing roman helmets and breastplates. The 10-foot-tall majestic sentries gazed down on the city from the 12-floor building. When the tower was pulled down to make way for a generic-looking high-rise complex, the angels were removed and offered for sale for $100 and one of them was bought by an Orange County family. Local historian and urban anthropologist Eric Lynxwiler heard the family was selling the sculpture, so he bought it for $2,500 and attempted to bring it back to his downtown loft in a truck. “I ended up hiring a crane and a forklift,” Lynxwiler told the Los Angeles Times. “The crane operator weighed it and found it was 1½ tons, so I had to have a special base made to hold it. Altogether, it ended up costing $10,000.” Lynxwiler, 37, wants to know what happened to the other angels. He speculates that some could have ended up amidst the rubble from the demolished building that was used to construct Los Angeles-area freeways. A pair of ornate elevator doors from the Richfield Building were saved and incorporated into one of the high-rise towers now standing on the site. The University of California, Santa Barbara, has four of the old building’s front door ornaments. Leave your comments on the news below. Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off

LA resident wonders where the angels went |
Associated Press – December 29, 2010 11:54 AM ET LOS ANGELES (AP) – The population of winged guardians in the City of Angels is not what it was. A downtown Los Angeles resident is trying to find out what happened to dozens of terra-cotta angel sculptures that once adorned a landmark downtown building that was demolished in 1969. Local historian and urban anthropologist Eric Lynxwiler told the Los Angeles Times that he bought 1 of the 1 1/2-ton sculptures from an Orange County family who had purchased it after the Richfield Building was pulled down. The black, art-deco tower, which served as the headquarters for Richfield Oil, was adorned with 40 golden angels wearing roman helmets and breastplates. After they were stripped from the building, which was demolished to make way for a high-rise complex, the angels were offered for sale for $100.
