Hollywood and Vine corner looking north from Broadway department store, circa 1949
Most views of the famous corner of Hollywood and Vine are usually taken from the southeast corner in front of the Taft Building (where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had offices from ‘35 to ‘45). So this one, taken from the front doors of the Broadway department store and affords us an interesting circa-1949 view from a little bit south of the intersection…not to mention of that Duesenberg parked out front of the store.

MARTIN I SHOPPED AT REXALL DRUGS IN 1969 I WAS A KID JUST GETTING TO HOLLYWOOD TO START MY MUSIC CAREER, BEAUTIFUL PICTURE..CHEERS DENIEL.
That was my home away from home for several years – worked for Y&R (advertising
1950-54) in the Taft building, shopped at the Broadway, ate at the Derby.
Yesterday I received “The Purple Diaries” (about Mary Astor) from Amazon and Friday expect to receive your book #6 – I am one happy camper.
