Good Morning Gentle Readers,
Hollywood Boulevard, looking east toward the most recognizable intersection in the world, Hollywood & Vine, circa 1948. The Art Deco Kress building on the right was the international headquarters of legendary Frederick's of Hollywood from 1949 until 2008. The Kress was a chic night club for a short time. The building is currently vacant and for sale. In the distant right, as large as a hotel, is the Hollywood Broadway department store.
As Always,
TWC
