and includes this note:
Hi Dale,
It's hard to believe that I'm here. How do you like the place we're staying? It looks
just like that. The sun was out early this morning but it must be what they call smog
now. We are going to look for the sidewalk with all the stars' footprints in it. So long.

Here's a photo taken in front of the Hollywood Highlander in the mid-fifties by the Auto Club of So. Cal.
USC DIgital Library/Automobile Club of Southern California collection, 1892-1963
The address appears to be about halfway between Hollywood Blvd. and the Hollywood Bowl. The
street in the righthand corner would be Camrose Dr. There is currently a retirement/nursing home
at this location called Belmont Village, built in 2001.
