The 600 block of Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, circa 1928I love casual “slice-of-life” photos like these because someone thought to capture a moment of what was a regular old day in (circa) 1928. But to us in 2018 it shows us a bunch of things that are no longer around: Desmond’s Department Store, Schaber’s Cafeteria, and Ford Model A automobiles. We still have the Palace Theatre, though, so that’s something. (built 1911) But when look at this photo, what I’m really wondering is what those two people on the sidewalk were talking about.
