Hollywood Then and Now - May 2022

Next to Century City, Westwood is the closest shopping area near me in Los Angeles.

Except nobody shops there anymore.  Not the nearby UCLA students.   Not the public residing blocks away.   Cruise Westwood these days and the main business thriving is the one who prints "For Lease" signs.

I am told that, back in the day, there was a really exclusive department store there.

Those days are over.   Oh, the building still exists.  Except the store occupying it is....um....a little different.

Well, that's one way to get UCLA kids there.  You know Target will have plenty of ramen noodles.

Meanwhile, this building is so big that the back half is devoted to a huge Ralph's super market.   I know.   I shop there every Saturday.

Dinner last night:  The pre-game buffet at the Dodger Stadium Club.
