After yesterday’s photo of the so-called “safety zone” which was really just a rectangle of painted asphalt, I’m now starting to see them everywhere. In this one, we’re looking west along Hollywood Blvd from east of Cahuenga Blvd. This one has four little domes, which I’m guessing were for the benefit of errant drivers, alerting them to the fact that they had driven into the streetcar passenger waiting zone. This photo was taken in 1938, and from the metal Christmas trees mounted on the streetlights, it’s safe to assume it was December.
This is roughly how that view looked in July 2024, by which time that block had lots of shade trees.
