The only caption on this photo says "Me." I am assuming this is my grandfather Frank Hallack in his early 20's, which would make this photo as one taken during the 1930's. Possibly taken near the ocean. I wish I could read the sign that is hanging there, I think it could be something related to the Pacific Electric red cars line. View full size.
The Pacific Electric Railway ran along the Santa Monica Bay beaches. Hyperion was a stop near where Imperial Highway ends at the beach. I believe that is where this photo was taken.
I'm thinking it has to be for the Hyperion Bridge. Thanks for having better eyesight than me.
The hanging sign reads "HYPERION". To me, the name brings to mind Walt Disney's 1925-1938 studio at 2719 Hyperion Ave. in Los Angeles' Silverlake District. Possibly the Red Cars had a Hyperion line or Hyperion station?
