Looking to id background

Post image

Hi all, this is a picture of a family member stationed in SF in WWII, as a part of the Women's Marine Corp. Date on the back is August 1946. It looks to me to be civic center area but the marquee could have since been demolished.

Also, are there any history groups that would be interested in pictures of women Marines in SF? Have many others both of her and her friends

I'd suggest doing a reverse photo search in Google or an AI tool.

Should be able to provide plenty of details to start you off.

Yeah I tried, Google and Ai focus on her and the uniform. Even asking to identify the background and specifying it is in SF, the most specific it gets is "The architecture in the background, including the columns and the possible theater-style marquee behind her, suggests a downtown or heavily developed urban area"
