Let's revisit that bluish photo I posted a few days ago. This time I am concentrating on the area that's further down the street.


found on ebay






below: An abundance of hustle and bustle. (I like the 'SEEDS' sign..it's a bit surprising for downtown Los Angeles)
Wichita maybe...but L.A?


detail





below: As a fan of commercial lettering and font design I was intrigued by this 'H' and this 'R'.

The 'h' belongs to the 'Hotel Jovita'....and the 'R' belongs to 'RADIO Cut Rate ELECTRONICS'.
