Now where do I have to go to get prints of some of these amazing pictures? I would love to display them on the wall in my East LA taqueria.

thanks so much for the link to the collection. somewhat related –another cool historic L.A. resource is a story kcet.org did on wilshire boulevard. if you click on view multimedia you can see a tour of wilshire (vintage photographs) and an audio history of the strip.

The link is:
