One of my time travel machine destinations would be to visit Hollywood Blvd during the holiday season when the street was decorated with Christmas trees that lit up at night. In this photo, we’re looking east from Grauman’s Chinese Theatre just as dusk was settling over Hollywood some time during Christmas 1952. The advantage Los Angeles had over cities back East is that you could stroll Santa Claus Lane (as the boulevard was temporarily renamed) this time of year without trudging through waist-high piles of slush and snow.
