Cahuenga Pass, Los Angeles - 2

an early 1940s postcard of the Hollywood Bowl entrance
the same location as in the top photo in December 1952 with a Pacific Electric railway car (pacificelectric.org)
a recent view, pretty much in the opposite direction, taken from Mulholland Drive, with the Downtown LA skyline visible in the haze in the distance (transpress nz)
another Pacific Electric car seen further along in 1952 - the space occupied by the tracks naturally became more lanes for the Hollywood Freeway within a few years - how sensible was that? (pacificelectric.org)
