Spot the Oppen's!

Oppen's Market (with the partially obscured Van De Kamp Windmill). One 1936 listing located at 922 W Jefferson (Adjacent to USC). Another at 3504 W. Slauson (1939) and 4123 W. Washington Blvd. None of those addresses seem a perfect fit.

Interesting structures in background. A mix of asian-inspired architecture, and on the horizon (to the right of the pyramid-shaped hill), a vision of the Acropolis, a Ceasar's Palace ad, possibly a caffeine-inspired optical illusion, or mature date palms lining a distant street.

But wait, don't take off your Cat's Paws too soon! Here's another Oppen's near 12th Avenue and Washington Blvd., circa 1932. http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...ll170/id/53161









Too much out-of date mayonnaise in the coffee?


Looks like an iceberg or Dover's Cliffs above the SIGNS sign.

Wonder what is nesting in those dead palm fronds? (Someone's missing homework?)
