In what looks to be a circa 1940s photo taken from the dashboard of a car heading east along Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, we can see the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on the right.

On the left is Victor Hugo’s, a very popular French restaurant, where, if patrons were lucky, they might have found themselves dancing to the music of Ozzie Nelson and his orchestra.
