I love the Gardner Junction area on Sunset, reminding one of the P.E. Red Car route of days past. There's a lot of plans for new building going on in that area.
One whole block in one section, all the stores are vacant now.
Correction, the construction on that block has commenced!
GSV view, click:

It's diagonally across from the above photo.
The restaurant at the SW corner of Gardner and Sunset, named Gardner Junction, was built as an homage to the Red Car Line and inspired the decor. There's a lovely large 4-sided clock on the corner and also open air dining spaces. Unfortunately this restaurant never caught on and closed down. A new restaurant has taken over the space and from what I have seen, has not changed the decor that much, in fact they describe themselves as: Regional American cuisine & cocktails served amid vintage decor inspired by a former train station. But the name has changed to Electric Owl.
The Google Mobile will take you down what used to be the Red Car route from Gardner to Sierra Bonita Avenue. In fact, if you start at Sierra Bonita, you can go to Gardner, cross Sunset and then follow the route as far as it goes, past Moun of Tunis etc. In fact, Start
HERE! You'll proceed down what looks like an alley of sorts, it's the old P.E. route.
