Laurel and Hardy in Palms

The comic pair did a lot of their comedy on the streets of Culver City and Palms. According to this Dutch light-rail site, the antic duo

"in 'Angora Love' (1929) are passing the tailor shop. Venice Boulevard serves as a background. Red cars en route to the beach cross Main Street [on the dotted line]. A 'crossing railroad' sign is behind 'the boys'; no protecting crossing gates or flashers at that time."

The trains are actually crossing Bagley Avenue in Palms (the city line is just below the arrow); Venice Blvd. is entirely in Palms, and so is the train station (hidden by the still photo at the top left). (Graphic from Blotto magazine.) 

In the 1929 Sanborn's map, you can see the "Pacific Electric Ry Passenger Station" wholly within the L.A. city limits (Palms). There is a bank on the southwest corner of Bagley and Venice, a delicatessen and then a hardware store.

On the east side of Bagley, still in Palms, you have a vacant storefront (3802), a cobbler-shoe repair (3804-06), a plumber's (3808) and an office building (3818).

South of the city line there's a radio store (3822), a bakery (3826), a barber shop, restaurant and pool hall (3828-30), offices (3834), meat and groceries (3838) and, finally, the tailor shop (3840), sharing a building with, I think, "Malt and Supplies" (3842).

That latter would be a place where folks could buy stuff during Prohibition to make beer in their own homes.
