Hehe! I had seen gsjansen's post earlier and had wanted to do the same thing, provide before and after maps, but I didn't have an old map image handy. I'm glad you were able to do it, though, Beaudry.
Apart from that block being bulldozed to become a parking lot, I also wanted to point out that Sunset Boulevard used to originate from the Old Plaza, before it was realigned to hook up with Macy Street and Brooklyn Avenue; and then of course those all became Cesar Chavez Ave. east of Figueroa in the early 1990s.
Those are indeed great pictures, I really like the skid row ones. And "Criss Cross" is one of my favorite movies.
