These days, of course, Vine Street is built up with office blocks and apartment buildings. But back in the (circa) 1930s, when this photo was taken, it was really more of just a local street with a used car lot and a place to get a car loan. Further in the distance, we can see the sign for the Plaza Hotel (still there, no longer a hotel) and the department store on the Hollywood Boulevard corner. Back then it was Dyas but which later became the Broadway department store (and is now condos.) Back then, I bet you could even find parking on the street.
You bet, you had no Problems parking a car. Down from te Vine Street School, over Santa Monica, up to the Strip, was a paradise also for Kids, in the late ’50s!
Free Comics reading included, at the Ranch Market!
p.s. any Reader in that School, at that time?

Free comics to read? I’ve never heard of that. I bet it was very popular!
