Franklin Avenue's post earlier this week about the demolished Ambassador Hotel made us curious for more. More what, we don't know. Just more. That's how we found this old timey map of Wilshire Boulevard on eBay. The 1967 map, used by the developers of the Wilshire Professional Building, covers the portion of Wilshire from Rossmore to Lafayette Park and shows the outlines of long lost landmarks, including the Ambassador, the Brown Derby, Bullocks Department Store (now the Southwestern Law School) and other stuff.
