This October 1958 image is a mystery, and I am feeling lazy. If I had to guess, I would probably say it shows Wilshire Boulevard. Second choice would be Hollywood Boulevard. Playing the Romper Room game, I see The Broadway Department Store, Thrifty Cut Rate Drugs (who came up with that slogan?!?), Dr. Cowen Credit Dentists (extract now, pay later?), Woolworth’s, California Bank, and possibly Western Bank on the left. On the right we have Flagg Brothers Shoes, Harris & Something, and Sears Roebuck...or maybe just a painted building advertising Sears.
…and some way cool vintage autos! Any others out there feeling less lazy that know where this is?
UPDATE: Thanks to Werner Weiss of the amazing site Yesterland, this has been identified as Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena.
