doh!, i did indeed mean to say sunset and vermont. (brain freeze moment, i'm editing my post above to refelct what it should say). when i saw the photograph of the bell beside columbia square at the USC digital archive, that confirmed for me that el camino real was indeed marked along sunset boulevard.
