Description
Photograph of billboards surrounding the north mouth of Broadway tunnel and a neon sign on the Villa Roma Café, Los Angeles, 1935. Several automobiles stand in the road at center with a dark tunnel behind them. Above the tunnel, two billboards stand on a wall to the right advertising for Aunt Jemma's and two more stand against the wooded hill above advertising for Carnation. Boards for California Prunes and M-J-B Coffee stand to the right of the tunnel with the Villa Roma Café in front of them. Several more automobiles sit along the edge of the road on the left beneath a sign which reads "Berber's Auto Park" while a man stands at the edge of a sidewalk on the far left.
