1930s: 6000 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood. I'm surprised to learn this used to be a market.

2010: 6000 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood. This is now part of the Sunset Gower Studios, I think.

1930s: 8423 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills. This was a market and gas station, a pre-cursor to the gas station mini-marts that exist today, perhaps? It could also be a proto-strip mall too.
