Description: View of an early "mini mall" at 3649 Beverly Boulevard, consisting of Barkies Sandwich Shops, a chain of sandwich shops, featuring a larger than life image of a mascot named the 'Ponderous Pup', gracing the entrance way with his head on the roof and paws on either side of the door, a huge sign hanging from his mouth which reads: "Toasted Barkies Sandwich Shops, No. 4"; and on the right of the photo, Tip-Top Drive In Market. Crates of oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and other fruit have been placed next to the sidewalk, giving cars enough space to drive between those and the market entrance.
