Photograph of an aerial view of the intersection of Chautauqua Boulevard, West Channel Road and Pacific Coast Highway, ca.1945. The Canyon Market Groceries and Liquor building is at center, and to the left is a billboard sign for the Lindomar Hotel. In the left foreground Pacific Coast Highway separates the market from a partly filled parking lot and the beach. To the middle foreground the intersection of the three roads is occupied with at least fifteen cars. Additional buildings are visible in the right foreground. The area where the market is located appears to be cut out of the solid rock hill in the background.
