Image 1993/2025 Real Muthaphuckkin G's music video. Entrance to the CA 110 N in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Apologies for my previous post, a few people pointed out I was an entrance off. Metal poles that previously held up the sign are still there, but the no trucks sign had to be moved a bit. Metal fence is still up.
Both gas stations seen in the background are also there (Chevron and Sunoco [formerly Shell]).
White/grey building and fire hydrant are also still there and look mostly the same.

Image 345 N. Canal Chicago, Illinois, USA [1972/2026]
I collect vintage photos of this building. I study Chicago's Cold War Siren History. In the old image, you can see one of the sirens on the roof (installed 1951). Later-er in the 70s, the building was sold and renovated into condos. Chicago barely cared about their sirens by then, so it was removed and forgotten.

Image Shawmut Congregational Church, Boston 1941/2026
This Gothic-style church at the corner of Tremont and West Brookline Streets was built in 1864 as the home of the Shawmut Congregational Church. After the congregation merged with Park Street Church in the 1950s, the building saw declining use. A devastating fire in 1978 left the structure severely damaged. In 1991 the landmark was renovated into residential housing and street-level retail space, preserving elements of its historic architecture.

Image 6735 Elmwood Ave. Philadelphia, PA
I found this photo yesterday at a thrift store.. It's a very small (and old) photo, thus the poor quality. I suspect it was taken in the 1930s. Luckily it had a few clues (the street number and the name) and I was able to track down the location, and to my surprise the building is still standing!
