Admittedly it\u2019s rather sad history, but I\u2019m glad someone thought to take a photo. This is a shot of a Pacific Electric Red Car making its final ride through Hollywood on December 28, 1952. It\u2019s running south on Highland Ave and has stopped at Hollywood Blvd. The Hollywood Hotel would have stood just out of frame to the left, but we can see the Hollywood Hotel Florist sign. The hotel itself would only last four more years before it fell to the wrecking ball.<\/p>\n<p>This is roughly the same view in May 2022. The only thing that\u2019s still there is the Hollywood United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26035\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/martinturnbull.com\/2022\/12\/23\/pacific-electric-red-car-running-south-on-highland-ave-at-hollywood-blvd-in-hollywood-on-its-final-run-december-28-1952-2\/may-2022-14\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?fit=1198%2C974&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1198,974\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"May 2022\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?fit=300%2C244&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?fit=640%2C521&ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-26035\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?resize=640%2C521&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?resize=1024%2C833&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?resize=300%2C244&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?resize=768%2C624&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/May-2022.png?w=1198&ssl=1 1198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s some LA history in the making.
