The status of the Central needs to be changed to ‘Closed’. Function ‘Retail’
It still remains, although the All in Bridal & Tuxedo shop has now closed as seen in January 2005.
Joe;
You are correct, it is located almost next door to the historic Bradbury Building which has a #304 address.
Not in South Central L.A., but right downtown, across the street from the Million Dollar Theatre, near the very northern end of the Broadway theatre district. I don’t remember ever seeing this building when it was still a theatre, but it must have been almost next door to the Bradbury Building.
Over in the post for the Cozy, Tillmany wrote:
“‘The Killer That Stalked New York’ is a 1950 film about a woman with the bubonic plague loose in New York City. Much of it was filmed there. But the finale, in which the woman, played by Evelyn Keyes, is out on the ledge of a building, threatening to jump, was filmed on South Broadway in Los Angeles, right above the Central Theatre, and in the same block as the Cozy. Although the Central is not easy to identify, the flashing neon of the Cozy is unmistakenly visible in several scenes."

I went by there recently and it’s now an All in Bridal & Tuxedo shop.
