Thanks for the pictures of the dancers on S Rodeo Drive, Tourmaline. The listing for Alfred Dunhill was at the end of a page in the 1956 CD, so I didn't spot that it was next to Romanoff's.


-----------------


Today's Julius Shulman pictures show some stores in Redondo Beach. This is "Job 1298: Carl Maston, stores (Redondo Beach, Calif.), 1952".



And now a look around the back of Florences Yardage, Mode O'Day and Brucker's Shoes.



There's just a single view of this branch of Sally Shops of California.



All from Getty Research Institute

The Mode O'Day store in the first picture has the number 222 over the door. That led me to the advert below which shows that the full address was 222 Hermosa Avenue. At the bottom, we see that Sally Shops of California was at 304 Hermosa Avenue. Both were part of Redondo Triangle. Another page of this 1956 advert mentions Florence's Yardage, but there's no sign of Brucker's Shoes (a 1953 advert for Brucker's Shoes at 258 Hermosa Avenue can be seen here).

Pictures of Redondo Triangle seem to be thin on the ground. The whole block between what-is-now N Pacific Avenue, N Harbor Drive and Beryl Street was redeveloped sometime in the '80s. Here's one of the few photos I found.
