If I lived in LA in the 1940s, I think I’d want to live within walking distance of Vine Street between Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd. It seemed to have it all: Tom Breneman’s restaurant, Wallichs Music City, the Brown Derby, the Broadway department store. This photo is from 1948, and note the sign out front of the NBC studios: “KNBH Television Channel 4” – so you’ve got all that an ground breaking technology, too!
