I really like this photo posted by cantoneseboyLA:
For one thing, I cannot believe that the large building with the three towers was chopped down to this:

Yet, when I look at the L.A. County Assessor's website, it shows that the building goes back to 1887. Wow!
Also, the Willys & Overland dealership on Broadway turned into our old friend the Bozzani Dodge/Plymouth dealership in later years.

By the way, does anyone know what the large building (the one with the water tower on the roof) in the background is? (top picture)
