Because I don’t remember ever confirming the location of the TFOS gas station previously in this blog, here it is! The Shell Oil station at the corner of La Brea and Fountain.
As with much of the Mid-Wilshire area, few buildings remain on the corner of Fountain & La Brea that could be seen in the late 1950’s. No part of the original gas station structure, the Grove Brown Texaco, still stands, and Levin’s Pharmacy, Soda Fountain & Kosher lunch spot, across the street from the Texaco an prominently seen in Teenagers from Outer Space, was sold in the early 60’s. It has since been razed.
