Description
The PCC Streetcars, or better known as the "Yellow Cars", were in operation in Los Angeles from 1943 to their retirement in 1963. This restored unit is fully functional at the Orange Empire Railway Museum at Pinacate Station in Perris California. Delivered in late 1943, these were the only complete PCCs built in the US in 1943 due to a moratorium on building transportation during World War 2. I took this photo while on tour through the museum.

Love this image, but now I'm wondering what Bullock's actually is
Glenn McCarthy Art and Photography replied:
Bullock's was a major Department Store. A destination spot in Los Angeles... back when Downtown was not a ghetto. Pretty ritzy. Wikipedia: Bullocks Wilshire, located at 3050 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, is a 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m 2) Art Deco building. The building opened in September 1929 as a luxury department store for owner John G. Bullock
