Here's a higher view from two years earlier. The white Holiday Inn building can be seen at the center of the background in

The zig-zag building with the orange stripes survived until about 10 years ago. The site, including its parking lot, is now Tongva Park. Note where Hot Dog on a Sticks is labeled below. Their red and white sign, which just says "Hot Dog Stick", can be seen behind the head of the man with the red headband in
e_r's picture. It still looks the same today.
