In this circa early 1950s view of Hollywood Blvd looking east from Wilcox Ave, we can see Woolworths at 6410 Hollywood Blvd, which stood opposite the KFWB radio station, whose (now empty) building also housed the Warner Bros. Hollywood Theatre at 6433 Hollywood Blvd. The Security Bank building is still there, as is the curved building on the south side. And, of course, the Broadway Hollywood department store building is still there, but is now condos.
** UPDATE (I stand corrected.) ** These are a couple of comments from my Facebook page:
This is the building KFWB moved to after Warner sold the station. They used to be on Sunset in the old Warner Bros Sunset studio lot. There were huge radio towers in front if that location. KFWB moved up on Yucca behind Capitol Records after the shown location on Hollywood Blvd. Maybe what you are thinking of as the tie between the Hollywood Blvd Warner Theatre and KFWB is the radio towers were atop that Warner Theatre.
Minor point: The KFWB building in the original photo was damaged beyond repair in a quake and was torn down. It’s been a vacant lot for decades.
Roughly the same view in March 2019. One thing I will say for Hollywood Blvd these days is that there is a lot more greenery.
Looks like the signage above the Studebaker reads “Poulson for Mayor”? KFWB was Rock and Roll, but gave up to KHJ which printed weekly Top 30 (or 40) sheets you could get at the local record shops. KRLA was always around too. Then things began to shift. You could buy Beatle Boots within spitting distance from KFWB’s doors. And a bowl haircut to finish the look.
