It appears to have been next to a gas station. ... Judging by the sans-serif lettering ( Shop) I think it might be a Mobil Station.
The top billboard gave me an instant flashback of Korean Air Flight 007....shot down the year before by the Soviet Union. (269 passengers perished)
The flight was a 747...just like this one.

And a Mobil station is still there, Western and Olympic. Here's the Google Street View:

Korean Air not only got rid of the flight number after KAL 007 was shot down, they rebranded from Korean Air Lines to Korean Air and changed the paint job on their planes to the light blue top part of the plane. I knew it was on Western due to the tall building in the background on Wilshire(I've been in the area quite a bit since my wife in Korean).
ETA: The Korean American Community Center is also still in the same building.
