Looking down to the intersection of Broadway and 7th Street from the Loew’s State Theatre, downtown Los Angeles, 1943This shot gives us a rare bird’s eye view of the busy corner of Broadway and 7th Street in downtown Los Angeles, anchored by the Loew’s State Theatre, which was MGM’s flagship theater. I wonder what was playing when this photo was taken in 1943: “Presenting Lily Mars”? “Lassie Come Home”? Or maybe an Andy Hardy picture? The war was on, which means gas restrictions were in place, which may explain the six streetcars lined up along 7th Street.
