A couple of weeks ago I posted a photo of the Chapman Park Market on 6^th Street, Los Angeles. The market, not far from the Brown Derby and the Chapman Park Hotel on Wilshire, takes up a full city block. The earlier photo was from the Alexander Ave end, and this is from the Kenmore Ave end. This is circa 1929, so it would have been taken not long after the market opened. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that striped bunting was put up to celebrate the opening. What I appreciate about this photo is the double-lamp electroliers. While the market is still there, that charming street lighting is gone, which is a shame because they add wonderful atmosphere to the cityscape.
