Boy oh boy, do I ever wish driving along the Sunset Strip still looked like this! We’re looking at the Sunset Plaza section of Sunset Boulevard, heading west, in 1939. Those charming one- and two-story buildings are still there and yet the feeling in this photo is completely lacking in the frenetic energy that encompasses you as you drive down the Strip these days. Not that frenetic energy is a bad thing, necessarily, but I’m sure the drivers in this photo aren’t nearly so exhausted as their contemporary counterparts are by the time they get home!
