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.

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!
