Then » In this shot from the late 1940s, this car, recently customized by local car customizer Link Paola, has just pulled into the Krieger gas station on the northwest corner of Broadview and Verdugo. Check out the gas prices! Fitzsimmons Market can be seen across the Verdugo.

Now » The same view today. A large office building has replaced the market on Verdugo, and the Krieger gas station is now a series of small offices and retail establishments. The photo is taken from the front door of Metta Meditation Studios, which offers guided meditation classes – very different from a gas station!
