Route 66 at the intersection of Doheny Dr. and Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, circa 1940s
If you had driven from the start of Route 66 in Chicago, by the time you got the intersection of Doheny Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard, you were nearly there. Santa Monica beach was just a few miles away but I’m sure that motorists who found themselves entering Beverly Hills were bound to take a detour to see if any Hollywood movie stars were roaming around in the wild. This photo was taken some time in the 1940s so I was pleased to see that the building on the left is still around.
