Here in this one photo taken at the corner of Hollywood and Vine we have a number of things we no longer see: the corner newspaper stand; the semaphore traffic light; a sailor walking around the city streets; a guy in a fedora; the Melody Lane diner on the northwest corner; the misspelling of the word “thoroughly” on a billboard; and a motorist patiently waiting for a pedestrian to cross Vine Street. In fact, the only thing in this shot that’s still there is the Hotel Knickerbocker building, which is now a retirement home.
Hi – I loved those old traffic signals. Great pic, thanks & love.
