Jewel City Photo: Musical Silhouettes
Composite of several shots taken on California between Brand and Orange. The City seal is from a bus stop on Broadway. The silhouettes look almost like Tintin.
*here's the piano girl. Artist Michael Daedalus Kenny points out that the silhouettes appear to be in the style of 1920's illustrator John Held, Jr.

He's credited for defining the flapper girl.
There's a girl with a piano around the corner, near Tep Thai.
