This nighttime shot looking east down Hollywood Blvd was taken at Christmas 1946. The famous metal Christmas trees were different colors, which isn’t something you see in the black-and-white photos. It must have been such a pretty sight to see. This photo was taken from the Highland Ave corner—we can see the vertical neon sign for the Hollywood Theater, which is still there but now houses the Guinness World Records Museum.
The Hollywood Theater at March 2018:
Merry Christmas Martin! Thank you everything you do everyday xx
The year of my birth. I would have been about 2 1/2 mos old when this was taken. I started in Venice, CA. Many great times were spent on Hollywood over the years.
Merry Christmas and a happy healthy year ahead Martin. I always enjoy your posts.
