We’re looking at the intersection of Wilshire Blvd and San Vicente Blvd (the darker road on the left is Wilshire) the way it looked in 1923. I think of that intersection as the eastern most point of the city of Beverly Hills, but here it just looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere. Which it probably was back then.
Re Wilshire and San Vincente: I think the Carthay Circle Theatre was just to the West on San Vincente. What a crime that they tore that down. I spent many a happy hour or 2 at that Theatre. Another favorite was the Warner Bros. Theatre on Wilshire in Bev. Hills, which was within easy walking distance for me. I fell in love with film from the get go: A Shirley Temple film when I was 3 or 4. Shirley turned out to be a great lady in spite of her early life; may she RIP.
