Business #2 - Money To Loan pawn shop at 831???
The second picture is basically the camera looking right. I couldn't find anything about any "Herman's Cafe" in the L.A. area. There seems to be a theater to the right, but which one? Hard to tell.
I suspect this would be around downtown L.A.
Thanks for any help provided. |
You're quite welcome! That's the 800 block of West Third, the other side of Bunker Hill from downtown. The theater next door is the
Lux.

Here's a later shot -- 6/65 -- with, sadly, the 831 "Money to Loan" building already demo'd. This is about mid-way between Figueroa and Flower.

While
The Killing made it into Jim Dawson's excellent book on Bunker noir (The Mission Apts, etc.) I don't believe this location did, which is a shame. Second edition!
