These days, of course, there is little left to remind us that back in the heyday of LA public transportation network the Pacific Electric Red Cars ran down the middle of Santa Monica Blvd. Fortunately, though we have gorgeous color photos like this to remind us.

We can see Domenico’s restaurant in the background. The building is still there but is now the venerable Dan Tana’s, which has been around since 1961.
