Best Buy Pies on the left (topped with a mid-century 'Saturn').....but the horizontal rectangular sign a bit further down the street is a mystery (_ _ UUM?)
On the right, there's an interesting 'noirish' sign, "The Stake Out, West" (red arrow). I'd say that was probably a neighborhood bar; wouldn't you?
And there's also a vertical "TOYS" sign visible with jabberwocky letters.
#4 (this one obviously has the best clue; you can clearly see an Eighth Street sign)
