There's nothing left at the corner to make it worthwhile posting a "now" picture, and the view of the Bendix Building is blocked by trees.
Looking at Historic Aerials and fuzzy pictures at USC, it looks like the Rocky's building on the corner had gone by 1964, and its neighbors on the left by 1970. The buildings on the right (Watkins department store in 1956) were replaced by 1980.
