I’m guessing this shot looking north up Vine Street, Hollywood from the Sunset Boulevard corner was taken in the late 1940s. On the far left, we can see that Wallichs Music City has its “Television Corner” sign and NBC has added its “KNBH Television Channel” sign, so the television revolution is on its way. But all the other familiar businesses are still there: ABC, Western Airlines, the Brown Derby, Santa Fe Railway, Hollywood Plaza Hotel, and the Hollywood-Broadway department store—none of which are still around.
