Looking north up Vine Street from just south of Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, circa 1950s

Dusk settles over Hollywood in time for the neon lights along Vine Street to flicker on: Wallichs Music City, Capitol Records, Coffee Dan’s, ABC Studios, Santa Fe Railway, Plaza Hotel, The Broadway department store, Brown Derby restaurant, and NBC Studios. ABC moved into what had once been a bowling alley at 1533 Vine around the early 1950s, so I’m guessing this photo is probably circa mid 1950s, but I’m open suggestions to narrow that down.

    You are correct about the ABC studio move. Here is an announcement from the July 4, 1949, Broadcasting Magazine, pg.13.
