I finally solved a mini-mystery I had regarding the building below.
found on an old cd of mine
I had this labeled 840 Dagmar (for obvious reasons
). For the life of me I could not locate a 840 Dagmar (except in Long Beach)
Then today, in an El Paso newspaper of all places I found this ad among others advertising hotels in sunny California.

It's long gone but it's still fun to finally place it. The large hotel that you see behind the Dagmar in the photo above is the
old Trinity Auditorium/Embassy Hotel building.
