What an annoying website. I can’t click on the little ball fast enough to get the city I want. Not user friendly at all.

There’s some kind of car business on that corner now. The other corner is a Chevron station. Certainly no resemblance to Joe’s photo.

Here is the current location. The oblong building is 725, then it jumps to 751. The theater is long gone:
