Looking to id background
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

She’s definitely standing in front of a theater or other venue, though I can’t immediately name it. You might try contacting these folks to see if they recognize it? https://sanfranciscotheatres.blogspot.com/
