#MayThe4th be with you! After the release of Star Wars in May 1977, a couple of Darth Vaders marched down #WilshireBlvd as part of the Festival of Masks later that year. Photo by Jerry Fredrick from our collection. #MayThe4thBeWithYou #DarthVader #LosAngeles

Feb 10, 1939: Before it opened to the public on Feb 11, the I. Magnin department store hosted a black-tie gala where civic leaders rubbed elbows with celebrities. The upscale #WilshireBlvd dept store is now known as the Wilshire Galleria in #Koreatown (located here -> https://goo.gl/maps/28jUhTEyMYLfUTmHA). #LosAngeles
