I found the source for my original picture, and went back to check the lower right corner. The "Over Night Stop" is a hotel. To me the sign looks like "Norman & Lanes", but it's not very clear. Wikimedia dates the picture at 1945. After looking at GW's post (above) and comparing rooflines, I'd say it's 2920 Wilshire. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z.../LASimons4.jpg Detail of picture at wikimedia.org Quote:
