I took a Vine Street walking tour of Hollywood yesterday, lamenting the passing of the Ranch Market, Precision Motors, the Steve Allen Playhouse and more. Somewhere along the way, I realized it really involved, "wanting to be a child again, or young again." It may be more than just the passing of youth, but it's not only about the loss of beautiful architecture and local history, either.
