  1. After playing around with it, I've deduced that the first few guys I "zoomed in" on just happened to all be in the downtown LA area by coincidence. I still liked it better before, when you didn't have to zoom in and a general neighborhood came up automatically.

  2. I've been able to zoom in and re-position the map with no trouble.

     

    My point was, before one didn't have to zoom in. And, yes I can zoom in, but to where? If I don't know the general vicinity of town where the guy is located, I'm zooming into...nothing.

  3. It seems to me that up until recently, when you mapped a guy on Rentmen you got a reasonably specific area of town. I.e., in LA, I've seen some show up in the downtown area, mid-Wilshire, Beverly Hills, Valley, etc. Now, all I ever get is a broad, wide map of all of LA, even for guys in WeHo. And zooming in doesn't help. Something's changed.

  4. The long running Rentmen ad for Jay Roberts aka 'Slavic' stopped over a year ago. He had excellent reviews on there, and on this site. I am glad to see him back, but why under a new profile, with no reviews? Hope he visits LA, as he did sometimes as 'Slavic'.

  5. Wow - seeing that ad is like catching lightning in a bottle. I caught it once or twice about a year ago, and it always seems to disappear a day later. Even the profile link you just posted above says 'expired'.

     

    I saw him a couple times at Adonis LA and I think he's effin' gorgeous. Seems like he could be a nice guy, but really he's not at all personable or approachable. (could be shyness?)

  6. He used to go by other names too as a masseur. Israel and Hermes (not to be confused with “Hermess”). Someone more diligent than I can probably find some of the threads.

     

    Yes, he used to be a regular dancer at Adonis / LA a few years ago using the name Israel.

  7. Excellent new documentary about music coming out of LA in the 60's called ECHO IN THE CANYON. The soundtrack consists of Jakob Dylan singing great cover versions from that era, all in duet with other cool artists. Worth checking out...

     

  8. I’m an avid genealogist and find obituaries to be extremely helpful in piecing together family histories. It’s a great way to document birth dates, marriage information, children, grandchildren, work history. Older obituaries written in the 1800s and early 1900s can be quite elaborately written. Writing styles have certainly changed.

     

    I am also into genealogy and have found great value in obituaries/death notices. Additionally, online, it provides friends past and present an opportunity to express memories and condolences.

     

    I had a great aunt whom I had lost track of long ago. Through the Social Security death index, I learned she died recently at the age of 104 - a record in my family tree. She was survived by one son and his wife. They didn't bother to post a death notice at all. I felt so bad for her - living to be 104 and not one mention of her passing. As if she never existed at all.
