Looking north up Vine Street toward Hollywood Boulevard from the roof of the Brown Derby Restaurant, circa 1949This is a view of Hollywood and Vine that we rarely get: from the roof of the Brown Derby restaurant. From this angle we can see two things I’ve never noticed before. The “The” in the sign is at an angle (how have I never noticed that?) And there is fancy ornamentation around the outside of the top part of the sign. Judging by the back up of traffic, I’d say something was going on along Hollywood Blvd – a parade, perhaps? I bet those motorists wished they had SigAlerts in 1949.

    There appears to be a horse trailer in front of the Broadway, so you are probably correct that there is an “event” going to take place. I can imagine that the motorists are thrilled!
