Topic: Seasonal
Christmas displays in department store windows are pretty much a thing of the past. Large department stores may soon be a thing of the past - only the carefully clever will survive the malls and discounters and outlet centers - but that's another matter. Large cities still have the Christmas window displays, for now. Out here they're a little odd. These are the Christmas windows at the big three on Wilshire Boulevard in central Beverly Hills - Sax's, Barney's and Neiman-Marcus.

The Guaranty Building for the Guaranty Building and Loan Association, 6331 Hollywood Boulevard, 1923, John C. Austin, architect. Charlie Chaplin and Cecil B. DeMille invested in this building that attracted tenants like gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. Now it is the headquarters of the Church Of Scientology International. Nice Wreath. 
Across the street at Hollywood and Vine, at Iguana Vintage Clothing, an all American Santa - green neon, the flag, the jazzman and the reflection of a palm tree in the glass.


Winter in LA is best thought of as a negative - this, the beach at the end of the north runway at LAX.
