But what about that giant A on the left side of the 1950s slide?
Equally intriguing is the venue on the right side of the 1950s slide. (if you look closely there's a name on the brown awning)
Does anyone know what these two businesses were? |
There was a good clue to the identity of the building with the giant A in the post of mine that you linked to,

I don't know which picture was being referred to, as that post has lost its images. Here's another I found that shows the whole KTLA building in 1949.

The 1956 CD lists Geller's Men's and Women's Wear at 706 N Bronson. That may be the name on the brown awning.
