Terrific pictures Tom. Do you know if the first one is Venice Florida? Sure looks like it could be Venice Ave.

Re: Friday Fords
The first picture that has the archway architecture was taken around 85-90 years ago I would imagine. I wonder if the archways are still there.

Re: Friday Fords
According to the interwebs, the first photo is Venice, California in the 1920’s. The photo is part of the USC Digital archive from the California Historical Society

edit: The photo link that I posted is from the 1920’s, the street is paved and the Ts are later models. The first picture in the thread appears to be earlier, the street looks like dirt, the Ts are straight fendered with white tires, and there are horse drawn wagons/buggies to the left. The Turkish bath on the right was built around 1910, but was gone before the war.

Re: Friday Fords
Picture #2 is the Garnier Block at the old Los Angeles Plaza, and #3 is the old Plaza Church nearby. Both still there, I'm happy to say,
