Taken from Sixth Street? In close proximity to May Co's auto department.

I've had Adohr milk.
"Adohr" is Rhoda spelled backwards. IIRC, Rhoda was the owners daughter. |

No time for games. Not Leimert Park.
March 14, 1952. Mayor Fletcher Bowron and his hat squad investigate the DWP's proposed condemnation of various San Fernando residences. Hat Squad Posse includes: Harry Renfro; Charles Bennett; J. D. Laughlin and Sam Taylor. The addresses provided in the text accompanying the photos still exist. So, it may be that some or all of the residences escaped condemnation. http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...B09050D59?v=hrhttp://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...12-031~11?v=hrhttp://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...512-031~7?v=hrhttp://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...512-031~5?v=hrhttp://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...512-031~9?v=hr all from USC Digital |

Here's how it is today (screenshot from google.maps, uploaded to Facebook): http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...87063839_n.jpg Here's what it looked like from Franklin back in about 1920: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...04809741_n.jpg Later it was a restaurant: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...75064003_n.jpg I believe it is divided today into several residences. |

Odd that the Mayor and entourage posed for the photo while standing on the grass, and not the sidewalk. :shrug: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/assets...B09050D59?v=hr |

And finally, Main Street between Sixth & Seventh, 1941...

Now I don't consider these businesses undesirable in any way and I'm confident neither did the owners nor their patrons. As for 'vacant lots' I don't see any. I see several well maintained and well utilized parking lots, which the civic center movers and shakers would sweep across great swaths of the city a decade after these pics were taken, so in their thinking parking lots, per se, weren't a bad thing unless, of course they didn't fit with their grand planning. Main Street between Sixth & Seventh, 1941, to a fair thee well. |
