The old and the new

Il Vicino's facade is always eye catching, especially on a sunny day. Pat and I recently saw an old photograph of this section of Tejon Street, and there was a small, one story building crammed in between the Ritz on the south and another building on the north, both of them much taller. We couldn't figure out whatever happened to the smaller edifice, but the next day we were downtown we realized that it's Il Vicino. It wasn't recognizable in the old photo because now it has such a snazzy facade!
