It's listed as 1234 N La Brea and there was a Jons Grocery there years ago (still visible on google maps). However when he is walking up to the entrance you can see 6140 above the front door (the 6 is faded). I believe this was 6140 Lankershim, North Hollywood. There is a newer grocery store there now and no gas station anymore but when he is parking, the buildings quickly visible on his left (2 apartments with windows) appear to be the same buildings currently standing (the windows and a light match exactly to one of them). Also immediately when the scene starts you can see a neon sign across the street as he is pulling in. There is a newer hotel there now but Lankershim had a lot of old hotels back then, and I suspect there was one in the spot of the current hotel.

If you come across anything on these locations, I hope you will post it. Meanwhile, I appreciate this page a lot.
