Pictured here is the intersection of Pine Avenue and possibly Seventh Street. Shown is the brick storefront of the American Automobile Owners Association Insurance, at 758 Pine Avenue. The business has a horizontal neon sign mounted above the length of the storefront entrance, including two small display windows. The diamond-shaped logo shown on the sign and on the windows includes the letters, "AAOA." Framed behind glass, a small Fox West Coast and Imperial Theaters poster advertisement is mounted on the front corner of the business (center of image). A bus stop in front of the AAOA advertises Louis Lenzer, Jeweler, "Expert Watch Repairing," "Where Customers are Friends." Another storefront business is visible along the right edge of this image, just nextdoor to the insurance agency. It is a dry cleaning establishment at 756 Pine Avenue, with signs offering "Men's Suits, 39"," "Ladies' Plain Dresses, 59"," "Plain Dark Silk Dresses & Coats, 59"." A poster displayed in the dry cleaner's window advertises an attraction at the Strand, entitled "Bad Girl." A view down the sidewalk can be seen on the left side of the image. Palm trees grow along the parkway next to the curb, and automobiles are diagonally parked along the street. A sign at the curb states, "Parking Two Hours, 9am-6pm." Along Pine Avenue in the foreground, train tracks are visible in the street. DATE NOTES: Noted on image back. ORIG. IMAGE: 8" x 10" B&W glossy print. NEGATIVE: Yes. KEYWORDS: AAA, travel, motoring.
