While we're still in the area of 4th Street, I've been curious about the road on the left of the Olive Inn since I first saw this picture. That must be the rear of the Judd Apartments in the background.
My search for the mystery road led me to the 1972 Historic Aerials image below. It looks like the "S" shaped road provided access between S Olive and S Grand while the 4th Street Cut was being dug. I decided to include a larger area because of the details it shows. Pretty much all of the buildings mentioned in the last few posts about the 4th Street Cut have gone, as has Bunker Hill Avenue and the section of Grand Avenue between W 1st and W 4th. S Hope has a temporary jog around the under-construction Security Pacific Plaza (Bank of America Plaza).
