Hollywood Hotel and Red Car Streetcar on Highland Ave

Posted on November 9, 2012 by

Hollywood Hotel and Red Car Streetcar on Highland AveHollywood Hotel at the corner of Hollywood and Highland (now a shopping mall). The church to the right is still there—the Hollywood United Methodist Church and was a location used in “Back To The Future”, “Sister Act”, and has been used by the Rockettes as a rehearsal space for their Christmas show. But what I really like about this photo is the red car streetcar. They really were RED!

    Love the contrasting lighting in this pic – from deep shadows to the stark white of the hotel.

    Not in color, but how about this simple but beautiful shot of the hotel and a passing red car. All aboard for the Golden Age of Hollywood!

    Love the palm trees.

    Thanks, Martin.
