Destination #2,783 in my time travel itinerary would be a nighttime stroll along Hollywood Blvd at the blazing height of its neon glory. I suspect this was a picture postcard, and I wish we could read the signs (and banners hanging from the streetlights) more clearly. But I can make out Coffee Dan’s, Hollywood Theatre, Iris Theater, the Broadway(-Hollywood department store), Warner Bros. Theatre, and American Airlines. It looks like one of the signs reads “Mutiny on the Bounty” which indicates this photo is from 1962.

I think we can see to the Pix and beyond on the right, so we might be able to get all the way to the Hawaii on the left during these last years. Quite an astounding display. No need to get those water bags and cross the desert just to see the light show in downtown Vegas.
Strange that the streetlights dip in the distance as the road does not.
I wondered about that, too. Maybe it a side-effect of forced perspective?
