The Bradbury building is at right and the City Hall tower is visible near center. Legible signs include, from left to right, "Heliotrope Drive", "Bimini Hot Spring", "Cliffton-By-The -Sea", "Redondo Beach via Moneta Ave", "109", "Chamber of Commerce", "Pic whist", "Santa Fe Station & Vermont Ave", "For Rent", "Regal Shoe Store", "Suits Berlin Sample Garment Shop Dresses", "Furs", and "3000 [?] Silks at 65¢ on the dollar on sale now".
