Ed Ruscha's shot of the Vista in 1966. Seeing it in its smut-house form really makes me miss it even more. The most darling jerk-off theater the world has ever seen.
also enjoyed this shot of the monstrosity that is the Hollywood/Sunset/Hillhurst/Virgil intersection. some say that kid is still waiting to cross to this day
The Getty just rolled an interactive site with the whole Ruscha archive, and apparently the above shot of the Vista was actually from 1973? (Me and my editorial team regret the error.)

Here's @debvankin's great story about all this: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-10-07/ed-ruscha-sunset-boulevard-getty-database

Getty's interactive database "12 Sunsets" documents artist Ed Ruscha's photographic journeys from the beach to downtown from 1965 to 2007. It's a trip.
