Does anyone know if a photo of Chandler Blvd or the curve onto Van Nuys heading north with street cars exist?
We currently do not have that view in our inventory. However we are posting new images regularly.
Keep checking back for updates. Steve Crise
Yes they do.

Found what you are looking for: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150506592389463&set=a.10150506588504463.383529.372041429462&type=3&theater
Though I’m not certain, the photo of some Valley Sevens looks like it was taken on the curve from Chandler to Van Nuys Blvd. Search for “Before the Rush”.
A couple of us think that “Before the Rush” is actually Sherman Circle instead of Circle Drive.
Aside from that, Bob how do we find the pictures you are referring to? Search by Key Word gives us “Nothing Found”…?
Looking closely at it today, Circle Drive would be the South leg of the wye at Chandler and Van Nuys, if there were one. Circle only curves Southwesterly to Van Nuys Blvd, and Chandler follows the right of way Northwesterly to the intersection of Van Nuys Blvd.
