mystery location.

At first I thought this slide might be of Kiddie Land on the southeast corner of Beverly & La Cienega Blvds.

"3 Kodachrome Slide 1947 Los Angeles KIDDIE RIDES Amusement Park LATL TROLLEY BUS."


Ebay







But in this 2nd slide one of our favorite subjects on NLA shows up in the upper left hand corner. ...A Gas-o-Meter!


Ebay

If I'm not mistaken, the closest gas-o-meter to Kiddie Land was up in Hollywood near one of the older studios.







Then this 3rd slide popped up and LO and BEHOLD...A straight-on view of the Gas-o-Meter.


Ebay

Wowza!............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ The LARy trolley car is extremely cool as well.

So if this small amusement park isn't Kiddie Land, what is it?


Remember folks; the slides are dated 1947.
