 Did that kid in the white shirt just fall down in the gutter?
-also note the guy in the dark hat and coat exiting the street car from the back.

I thought the buildings in the distance along the curve were associated with the railroad, or perhaps industrial buildings.
So I was surprised to see that one is a Grace Nazarene Church.

Does anyone recognize this area?

Grace Nazarine Church was listed in the 1942 City Directory at 7006 S. Menlo Ave., which means that we're looking at the S-curve that brought the LARy/LATL F-line from Hoover St. to its junction with the U-Line at Florence and Vermont. The Googlemobile seems to show that the apartment building to the left of the church remains, now at 7022 S. Menlo. The church itself has relocated to 109th Place and Normandie Ave.
