Farmers Market, corner of Fairfax Ave and 3rd Street, Los Angeles, circa late 1950s
This glorious color photo offers us a glimpse into Los Angeles life at the Farmer’s Market at the corner of Fairfax Ave and 3rd Street. That white tower is still there but behind now stands the ever-popular outdoor shopping mall called The Grove. I especially love that two-toned, red-and-cream car parked in the foreground. If anything screams “1950s!” it’s that.

As any L.A.-philac would recognize, you could do NO better than to have breakfast at the Du-Pars restaurant at the 3rd Street Farmers’ Market. From THAT legacy location, to the early-’90s defunct Glendale restaurant, all the way to the Thousand Oaks location, AND the Studio City site, you could enjoy their famous buttermilk pancakes/French Toast to your heart’s delight. Up until 4 years ago I would do EXACTLY that after shopping the Studio City farmers’ market… which was the best Farmers’ Market in my limited experience.
Does anyone recall that Du-pars was a combination of the two founders’ names- Dunn and Parsons?
I never knew that!
I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!
