Palomar Hotel

Building in the background was The Palomar Hotel. I read somewhere that Charles Lindbergh stayed there. Below is a postcard of the hotel.

San Diego intersection

I just noticed your posts of several photos from Southern California in 1967, and was startled to recognize this intersection perfectly. This was taken in San Diego on Sixth Avenue looking north at Laurel Street. Sixth is the west boundary of Balboa Park, and Laurel continues into the park to the Cabrillo Bridge, two blocks east of this intersection. The Colonial style building at left was the "Banker's Hill" branch of San Diego Trust & Savings Bank, built on the site of the 1880s mansion of the bank's original owner, Joseph Sefton. Highrise condos replaced the bank's block a few years ago, but the four-story Craftsman style apartment house in the next block is still there at Sixth and Maple, and beyond that a glimpse of the gray back end of St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral.

Jaywalker!

Probably off to take a gander at the Porsche 356B, parked behind the circa 63-64 Caddy convertible like a dinghy.
