In this 1956 photo (Ektachrome, I’m presuming), we’re looking north up Broadway toward 6th Street. On the left, we can see the sign for Zukor’s (no relation to Adolph Zukor, the founder of Paramount Pictures, as far as I know), which was a clothing store next door to the greatest movie palace in town: the Los Angeles Theater. We can also see a sign for Richman Brothers, which was a subsidiary Woolworth’s, and was an upscale men’s clothing store. The L.A. Theater is still around, so one out of three ain’t bad.
Zukor’s in January 2017 looking a little worse for wear:

Martin,
I’m trying to make out the sign in between the red crosses it looks like ”Our blank blank for you” maybe?

I tried to discern what that sign said too but it’s too pixelated.
part of the Zucker’s store was still there in 2017…looking a little worse for wear

You’re right, J! I didn’t know it was still there. I’ll add it to the post.
Yeah, “a little worse for wear…” Read “filthy mud-race desecration.” Any other description is a politically correct LIE.
You said that better than I, Rich.
