A walk through the streets a block north and a bit west of the famous intersection of Sunset and Vine. The streets are Ivar and Cosmo, and Selma and Wilcox. Visually interesting. The glamour is elsewhere. But this is how Hollywood actually feels, as photographed Thursday, February 2, 2006.

 

There are twenty-nine photos in this album.  Here are some in high-resolution.
