This shot of Simon’s Sandwiches Drive-In was taken at the northwest corner of Wilshire Blvd and Fairfax Ave where the Google-style Johnie’s Coffee Shop now stands. By the looks of this photo, I’d say that Simon’s lot took in the apartment building to Johnie’s north and the 99 Cent Store to the west. This photo was taken in 1939 so the now-iconic May Company department store building on the northeast corner wasn’t even there yet—or perhaps was being built when this photo was taken as that building opened in 1940.
