Thanks for that auto-parade shot, gs--do we suppose the palm fronds nailed to the phone poles are part of the decorations?...
Meanwhile, a few miles north...

Toward the upper right corner of the shot above is the intersection of Fletcher and Riverside (which, btw, is a stone's throw
from the Silver Lake Auto Rest. I'm assuming it's in there somewhere--attn Scott: your mother probably filled up her Pontiac here).
This set of pics chronicles the corner through the years:

Btw--Chevron is still on that corner.
Be sure to visit the excellent website below--there are newer posts than will appear by clicking this particular link, but by scrolling
down on this one you'll find an excellent series of photos chronicling the walling-off effect of the freeway on Silver Lake and
Echo Park.
