Red Car streetcar heading east along Hollywood Boulevard at Whitley Ave, in front of the College of Beauty, Christmas 1952
In this brightly lit nighttime shot, we’re watching a Red Car heading east along Hollywood Blvd at Whitley Ave during the Christmas season of 1952. We can see the electric Christmas trees lit up along the sidewalk. In the background is something I’ve never noticed before, the College of Beauty, which I’m guessing was some sort of cosmetology school. The college’s building is still there and in excellent condition.

Wow. Such a beautiful, shimmering, shiny Christmas photo of a VERY different time.
And then the current photo people on the street immersed in their mobiles.
What has been lost since then…?
“What has been lost since then…?” The list is too long to detail here, Rich!
