the color (which means it\u2019s probably Kodachrome), the two-light semaphore traffic signal, and the metallic Christmas trees decorating Hollywood Blvd. This photo (looking north up Cahuenga) shows more clearly how snow was painted on them, which probably looked funny to people back east buried under two feet of actual snow.<\/p>\n<p>This is roughly how that view looked in July 2024.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"30981\"
