Here's a diagram, say after the car carrier arrived and we unloaded it. One row against the shop wall. If two car carriers showed up at the same time there would be two rows. The cars would be "unparked" and pulled into the shop for final assembly and then onto the lot and the showroom floor. Outside row first then inside. If for some reason you had to get out a car from the inside row it was a real PITA because you'd have to pull two outside cars to give room to get it out. We got our exercise. Cheers, Earl |

If the dirt is too rich and wet, they won’t thrive. Well, they do like moist conditions at first, but once they get going leave them alone — they can handle droughts. They don’t like to be transplanted. And they don’t like it hot. They’re a cool-season annual, showing their color early in the growing season and fading in the heat of summer. The petals close at night and when the weather is too cold, windy, or cloudy, but they open again in the morning sun. |

Here's a great photograph currently on eBay. It shows the employees of the Charles Schonlaw Chevrolet Dealership posed in front of a fine looking building in Hollywood, California. [date: June 16, 1937] https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/Ld6Bfl.jpg Link The street number is 7601 but I'm not sure of the street. . |

I concur with the 7601 Sunset Boulevard location. Here's a different angle dated "1960s". One of the comments pinpoints it at 1962. It looks like present tennant Bonhams are using the same roof sign frame. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...nlawChevy1.jpg Alden Jewell on Flickr |
I was trying to figure out the extremely long car (stretch limo?) next to building but then it dawned on me it's a regular car in motion.
I imagine Bonhams would like to have the old eBay photograph. . |

KWICKORN Here's another interesting photograph currently on eBay. It shows Quick Foods Inc. at 2060 Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles, California https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/jmioCb.jpg Link As you can see - three delivery trucks with Kwickorn ads are parked in front of the rather unique building. Kwickorn ads can also be seen in the image below. I'm not quite sure what is going on in the photo. Photo taken at a Dog & Pony Show. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/UaHBSI.jpg cardcow Uncle Bill Sharples, the Grocer.

The Art Deco detailing is definitely interesting; it was built in 1931 for real estate investor Eva A. Lynn and survived until 1998 when it made way for the widening of Santa Fe Avenue. The late '20s–early '30s trucks in front indicate that the photo was probably taken soon after completion. |

I don't believe NLA has had the Mona Lisa Cafe at 2534 W. 7th before (there was also one on Wilshire):
https://i.postimg.cc/J40y4cFp/MonaL001.jpg odinthor collection Unlike its sibling establishment on Wilshire (which was subject to hold-ups), the Westlake location's existence--after a bumpy start (fire)--seems to have been relatively calm. https://i.postimg.cc/sxq32SBL/Mona-L-LAT-11-11-25.jpg LA Times, 11/11/1925 |

I agree, odinthor. We have only discussed the Mona Lisa on Wilshire Blvd. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/GpFk32.jpg eBay RE: Westlake Shopping Arcade. The complex, and concept, seems to have been ahead of its time. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/QHxueO.jpg Good find, odinthor. . |

I don't believe we have seen Jackson's either. ..............................................(I searched & found no results) yet it seems vaguely familiar. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/JYw8sb.jpg BABARR FILE No address. Let's take a closer look at the front entrance to the bar. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/dad2Dj.jpg detail Look at that front door. It looks like you're about to enter a pirate's den. On the side, and towards the back, there is a liquor store named The Bottle Shop. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Wod4WS.jpg And there appears to be a real estate office in the home behind the building - - - - > One more thing. I don't believe I have ever seen a TAXI sign like this one. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/lhhXmF.jpg If we have already seen Jackson's on NLA. . .pretend we haven't. ;) . |
.
And wehaven't seen this haberdasher on NLA. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/ZPaPdm.jpg Vincent Simeone, Custom Tailors - Haberdashers 3256 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles - California "Just West of Vermont" . |

One of a series of ads in the LAT during 1959: https://i.postimg.cc/1R27wt6K/simeonead-bmp.jpg Vincent Simeone's shop had been in the Wilshire Central Building at the nec of Oxford for years before it moved to the Switzer's building, where it remained until the late '60s. The Switzer building lasted from 1931-1970--for more on it and the Wilshire Central building, see this story of early commercial Wilshire Blvd (& scroll down). Switzer's was built on the site of Henry O'Melveny's house, which he moved to Windsor Square in 1930. https://i.postimg.cc/1RHcRdtZ/switzerssimeone-bmp.jpg The O'Melveny house today: https://i.postimg.cc/pTd8mWyb/omelvenyhouse.jpg |
