Yet more rain

Two more from the LAT archives, each captioned "Storm-flooded street in a commercial area, [Los Angeles County?], 1933"

The 1932 CD has listings for the Gilford Apartments (1912-1959) and the California Mattress and Feather Co. in the 1800 block of S Hoover, so this picture is looking north from about Washington Blvd.

A curious detail from the upper right-hand corner, looks like a sneaker:



Nothing left to see at that spot today, unfortunately.

The zoomable version of this can be seen here.

No good clues I can see; on the left side of the street there is a grocery score and a sign for "__S Propert[y] for Sale or Trade" and on the right side, a commercial structure with the world "Associated" on top. There are 145 hits for the word "Associated" in the 1932 CD
