At the corner of 7th and Olive Streets, downtown Los Angeles, 1937

At the corner of 7th and Olive Streets, downtown Los Angeles, 1937This is one of those slice-of-regular-life photos that I love to come across. In this one, we are able to catch a glimpse of life at the corner of 7th and Olive Streets, downtown Los Angeles, 1937. We’re treated to aspects of 1930s life that we don’t see anymore: all the women are in hats; all the men are in suits; and there’s a streetcar trundling along 7th Street whisking people in and out of the city, who are glad they won’t have to search for decent parking.

    Somewhere by Hotel Victoria (1910-63)/ex-Hotel Orena (1906-10) which was at 7th & Olive. Perhaps right out front?
