We’re seeing Pacific Electric streetcar #710 stopping outside the Hollywood Bowl. It’s come from through the Cahuenga Pass from the San Fernando Valley, and is heading down to Santa Monica Blvd, and ultimately the Subway Terminal in downtown LA opposite Pershing Square. We can see the sign – “BOWL PARKING” – on the right. These days, parking is still there, but it looks nothing like it did in this circa 1930 photo. And the sign on the left for the L.A. PET CEMETERY – I’ve never heard of a cemetery near the Bowl, so I’m guessing that was just a sales office attached to Rollins Jones Real Estate office.

Ramon D. says: “In front of the streetcar in the background I see a model car that was called an Victoria. Regardless of the brand, a fairly rare car model by definition. It seems to me to be a realistically affordable Ford model A. Then this photo couldn’t be earlier than November 1930.”

Mike B. says: “According to their web site, the LA Pet Cemetery is in Calabasas. This picture from their website shows the same font as in your photo, so your assumption that it’s a sales office is probably correct. https://lapetcemetery.com/

This is roughly the same view in November 2021:
