There is no listing for Kustiner's in any LAPL Los Angeles city directory of the
'30s or '40s. How did the set designers of the new HBO
Mildred Pierce decide
on the signage of an Anaheim clothing store for a Manhattan set meant to
represent the facade of period downtown L.A.? (Perhaps there was a
Kusitner's branch in Pasadena, and this is meant to be that city's downtown.
I guess we'll have to tune in on March 27th to find out.)
SW corner of Madison Avenue and 27th Street, New York:

LACurbed refers to this as Park Ave. and 27th, but it's actually a block
west.
