I was discussing this image with My Mother who has lived in Torrance and Redondo Beach all of her life. She said there was a big A-Frame Restaurant on the corners of Artesia and Redondo Beach Blvd. That intersection comes to a V and Redondo Beach Blvd. merges into Artesia. What stands in that grid west of Hawthorne Blvd., is a parking lot and Marie Calanders, a Turners Outdoors, a Numero Uno Pizza, and a now defunct and closed Firestone Service Station that is now fenced off. I too enlarged the photo with a program that splines the pixels and only can make out Blvd semi clearly. Given the length of the street name, I'm going with RBB.If I find out any more details I'll post. I'm gonna try to go to City Hall later this week, and see if I can dig up any information. Great post and another great find! ADDED* IMG blown up to 2600dpi,after that it REALLY gets pixed. [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2007-01-28 10:01 ]
