Description
Photograph of a view looking west on West Olympic Boulevard and 10th Street, showing a car crossing Crenshaw Boulevard intersection, 1939. The 10th Street with streetcar tracks in it can be seen from the foreground to the center background. At the intersection, the Olympic Boulevard also veers to the left background. Crenshaw Boulevard intersects the first at center. Three cars are parked along the street at right, while several cars can be seen facing forward on the far side of the intersection at left. Another car can be seen traveling to the left and is crossing the intersection. Flags fly over the road, some of them mark Vons' 33rd Anniversary. Shops line the road at right, and what appears to be a gas station can be seen across the intersection at left. In the extreme background, at left, the Los Angeles High School tower can be partly seen. Legible signs include, "Drugs" and "Wine. Liquor".
