I love these from-the-dashboard photos—they show us a slice of real life on the streets of LA. This one is from 1956 and shows us Wilshire Blvd from Dunsmuir Ave. We can juuust see Desmond’s department store on the far right, and a little farther down, Mullen Bluett, which was an upscale menswear store. On the north side of Wilshire, we can see the El Rey Theatre, which is still around and still in operation.
Kinda sorta that same view today, but with a lot more greenery, which is nice to see:
