Does anyone remember a heavy downpour that occurred in 1962?


A few weeks ago I happened upon four amateur slides showing the aftermath along a stretch of Franklin Avenue in Hollywood.

As you can see, this first slide shows an open-front grocery store named Haig's Market. Next door there is a venue called the K Club offering cocktails

Do either of these businesses ring a bell with anyone?





In this 2nd slide. . .

the photographer continues down Franklin passing Haig's Market (at right). As you can see there are a plethora of clues down the street.

This 3rd slide is the only slide that wasn't described as Franklin Ave.

The photographer was mostly interested in the mud on the street. Does anyone by chance recognize the cross street? It appears to be larger than Franklin Ave.






The last slide, which I found a week later, is a close-up of a car mired in the mud.

No street is mentioned with this slide.
