Judging from the circa 1950 Pontiac, I’m guessing this was the view looking south along Vine Street from the Broadway Department store on Hollywood Boulevard. In the distance we can see the distinct sign for the Brown Derby restaurant. Below, I’ve posted a closer photo of the stores along the east side of the street. My favorite is “The Ham’n’Egger” whose motto is: “The bite that’s rite – morning, noon, and nite.” I’m also rather envious of TWA’s $99 airfare to New York advertised on the billboard.
Hi – oh my goodness! I spent 4 yrs. (1950-1954) working in the Taft building (at Y&R).
Thank you SO much for posting this, my dear friend. I no longer drive and am on oxygen. Guess that’s to be expected at age 87. Have had one helluva life as you know and getting to know you has been one of life’s pleasures. Love always to you and Bob from L&M
