I have been trying to figure out the side street. (a Melrose sign is clearly visible)
I'm especially intrigued by the Baths sign(s) at the right edge of the photograph.
Here's a closer look.
I imagine this is a gay bath house - - - > (but I don't see a name)

hmm. .how is that painted vertical arrow going OVER & on top of the movie advertisement sign without any distortion.

Ah yes, the Melrose Baths, near Melrose and Poinsettia Place. I've uh, been there a few times, and uh, had my first introduction to poppers there. But I played safe, mind you, as this was in the early 90s... I was in my early 20s back then. The address, interestingly, was 72
69 Melrose Avenue.
