Ida Wyman, primarily known for her "street" photography, took this undated photo, I would guess about 1950....location also not identified, but to me it looked like D.T.L.A.

Is that the City Hall depicted on her cap?....the three shield-type signs reflected in the glass appear to be in the form of the old Union Pacific signage. |

From the coin dispenser on her waist and her uniform, I take it she is a parking meter maid, lot attendant, streetcar/bus change & ticket attendant or something like that. The emblem on her cap might be that of the Pacific Electric system (not absolutely sure) and that might be city hall. The aviator glasses give a no nonsense "don't mess with me" vibe. The pic might be a bit earlier than 1950, perhaps mid to late '40s, even WW2 era.
