The OKSO'S building on La Cienega had several incarnations before such as the The Gas Light, The Millionaires Club, 1520 A.D. and Climax II during the 1960s. Remember any others?
It was demolished during the early 90s and is now a Loehmann's.

The 2013 GMC Sierra Denali Crew Cab and the 2013 Ram Express Quad Cab 1500 are both three quarter ton pickups but that's were the similarities end. These are two very different pickups that compete for different buyers. The 2013 GMC Sierra Denali is the top of the line in terms of price and luxury. It comes with almost every option as standard including a heated steering wheel. And unlike the Ram 4X4, the Denali has full time All-Wheel-drive. The Ram 1500 is all new for 2013. While it still looks like the previous model it has been substantially redesigned. Of course the question that we wanted to answer is which of these two pickups is the fastest when it come to going 0-60 MPH? More at http://www.TFLcar.com.

When the 2013 Formula One World Championship kicks off at Albert Park in Melbourne in March of this year, we’ll be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the first Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, held in 1953.
The 1953 race was a Formula Libre event and was contested over 64 laps of the public roads which made up the Albert Park circuit. Doug Whiteford won the race in a Talbot-Lago T26C by formidable five laps. Stan Jones, father of 1980 Formula One World Champion Alan Jones, took part in the race, setting the fastest lap in his mighty Maybach Special Mk. 1 before retiring with mechanical gremlins.
This video celebrates the anniversary and the history of the circuit, with Alan Jones driving his dad’s Maybach around some of the original circuit and reflecting on a great Formula One event.
