Excellent information,
Noir Noir. Thanks so much!
Tonight's
mystery location. Thriftymart, Los Angeles [c.1959]
Original 35mm Kodachrome slide.
Ebay (sold) u can still see it if you click the link & then scroll down.
I think
(and I could wrong) the photographer jumped out of that car, ran across the street, & took the photograph.
Besides Thriftymart, the clues include Coleman CL ...and something I hadn't noticed (until I enlarged the photo).
...A watertower!
see below
DETAIL
note the cool sign about the pharmacy entrance.
So do you sleuths think we can figure out this location?
