Having been born n rasied in San Pedro, let me add to the photos and car dealers. The Ballet School was a furniture store before it became a bakery. The La Rosa Bar was the 13th Street bowling alley. It had 8 lanes with a snack bar on one side and a cocktail lounge on the other. The Rexall drug store was La Rue’s Pharmacy, which up until it closed, had a working soda fountain which was featured in several movies. The 2 car dealerships on Pacific Ave were Soderstrom Ford and Seaboard Chevrolete.
I remember the Globe in the 50’s and 60’s. But I did not go inside. I also remember the Grand. But I forget where it was. I thought it was near the Fox Cabrillo on 7th and Grand.
