Here we have a panoramic view of Hollywood, California, circa 1910. I couldn’t find much information on it, but I’m assuming that is Hollywood Boulevard running down the middle. It was originally called Prospect Ave but got a name change in the early 1910s, around this time. But there doesn’t appear to be a streetcar line, which came in around 1911, so the 1910 date seems about right. I love how pastoral this scene is with a few scattered houses, some open fields, and what looks like an orchard there in the center.

I believe Hollywood Blvd. would have been wider than the street shown and the view is too far away from the hills to have been the Blvd. Perhaps it is looking north from Sunset Blvd.? This would also explain the lack of trolley tracks!
Ah, Jim! I think you may have a point!
