In this 1933 photo, we’re looking east along Sunset Boulevard at Doheny Drive, which is the western end of the famed Sunset Strip. (The Garden of Allah Hotel marked the eastern end at Crescent Heights Boulevard.) I don’t have a fix on when Sunset was paved over, but it was some time in the early 1930s, I believe. So when this photo was taken, the Boulevard would have still been fairly freshly sealed, which I’m sure would have made driving the Strip a whole lot more pleasant.
