Anyone know what State-City this dealership is located and are they still in business?

They were located on Magnolia Avenue in Riverside California.
Now the building is Taylor’s appliance.

Take a hard look at the orientation of the photo.

I finally get the joke! On my iphone the picture was right side up so being told to look at the orientation was not a helpful clue. I finally realized that it might be inverted on a computer monitor, and it is. I was beginning to think I was particularly stupid.
