A few days ago I happened onto this 1956 slide of the parking lot at Chinatown.


eBay (it's gone already)

-any idea what the modern-looking business with the bright yellow round sign is across the street? I've never noticed it before.




Here's an earlier parking lot photograph I posted back at the beginning of February.

I haven't noticed that unsightly utility pole in other photographs. What's it for?
postscript: We decided the mystery pole was probably left over from an air raid siren during WWII.
