'mystery' location / mislabeled photograph?
The recent discussion on sailors made me think of this
noirish photograph I happen upon a couple months ago.
It's attributed to the famous street photographer Garry Wynogrand [1950]

Even though it's shrouded in fog, I believe the building in the far distance is the Post Office Terminal Annex down by Union Station.
But the majority of websites place the location as New York.
here's ArtBlart

while Slate has it simply labeled
'Sailor, 1950'.

and lastly, 'Rena Tobey' has it labeled
New York, 1960. (wrong date too?)

Am I way off on this one....
or do you think there's a possibility this is Los Angeles? (it sure feels noirishly L.A. to me)
If it
is Los Angeles, I'm still trying to figure out what bridge/viaduct the sailor is walking across.
